Sorry you feel like it only affects speeders. I'm on that road all the time and respect the 25mph limit. No reasonable person could look at that crossing and say that it's even in remotely good repair. I'm glad the railroad is finally maintaining their equipment and the crossing lights are also long overdue.

What do you mean "finally maintaining their equipment"? They have been doing all kinds of work on the line for several years now from all the neglect that previous owners did not want to do. It has been a long process of trying to get money from the state so this like this can be done. Once it does get done, I'm sure there will be crossing accidents from those who think they have to do 50 plus down that road and try to beat the train.

I'm sure that will be a tremendous problem with the 3 apparent trains per month on that line. I'm sure you'll list a number that's exponentially higher than that but the bottom is it isn't a busy or even remotely high speed line. I think I've had to stop for a train at that crossing exactly once in 3 years. That trains are SO infrequent makes the crossing signals more important in that people are not accustomed to seeing trains there and thus don't always look. The state of the crossings and lack of signals in a populated area just adds to the abandoned track look.

I'm glad that the RR and state have gotten the money together to repair this crossing, the crossing in Avondale and presumably the crossing over 41 as well as they were all terrible.

You keep referencing people speeding through that area. What would your solution be? To leave the crossings the disgrace they are? I see a Borough police officer sitting at the intersection of Guernsey and Evergreen at least once a week and they also set up along Guernsey to catch speeders fairly regularly. Should we just make the roads so intolerably bad that it's impossible to speed? Maybe someone in Harrisburg agrees with you and that's why PAs highways are consistently the worst in the country.
