Train Accidents
In Indiana and Illinois, safety upgrades at rail crossings have been undertaken, yet collisions with vehicles remain catastrophic.

Precautions such as bells, lights, and arms are there to warn drivers that a train is coming, and do not cross. A malfunction of the system can have disastrous results.
