Written in blood: railway crossing incidents leave a tragic legacy

Earlier this week we introduced you to Mark Blanchette, longtime railroader and avid OL supporter. What he has experienced throughout his railway and first responder career is shocking. Please, heed his rail safety message: “Always give every crossing a second look. You wouldn’t drive through a vehicle intersection without looking both ways, so why would you do this at a railway crossing where the vehicle could kill you instantly? Trains don’t forgive mistakes.”
