Guess the MTA needs more money. Just another attempt to extract more money from people.

Guys, seriously, come on.
This is a waste of money. The people who are going to go in front of the trains are too dumb to live and that train is just Darwin's way of removing them from the gene pool. If you don't know to stay out of the way of the multi-ton vehicle traveling at 50MPH, moving along a very, very, very, very, very, very, very fixed path....yeah, you deserve to go. |

Only in New York........I think they should appoint Spitzer as the Chief Crossing Guard.......I hear he needs the work.

What a joke, the LIRR police are never available for problems on the rr or at stations. In my career with the NCPD any time there was a call on their property they were "respoding from East Suffolk with an extended ETA, and never semmed to make it there.

Not nearly as sick as the a-holes who go around lowered crossing gates. They are down for a REASON people - and the reason is NOT because they look pretty all lit up. |

1 At the Bethpage crossing, not only do they have gates and flashing lights, they also have a sign that flashes that a train is coming and sure as shootin' some dipstick gets run over at that crossing while everything is flashing a ringing. Now we need someone to physically hold these morons back? I'm not saying that stupidity warrants the death penalty, but these dopes have no one to blame but themselves. |

Railroad hire Patrol trying to raise fees
In Europe, Germany, Swiss and nearby counties use Video cameras and tape them on every railroad gates to watch them and caught them. |
