Emphasizing RR crossing safety

By by Ken Stanford
UNDATED - From Flowery Branch to Gainesville, law enforcement officers in Hall County joined a campaign Wednesday to promote safety at railroad crossings.

They positioned patrol cars at crossings as a special train passed through.

That train was sponsored by Operation Lifesaver, a nonprofit group that educates drivers on the importance of stopping at rail crossings.

Nationwide in 2004, according to the Operation Lifesaver Web site, at least 368 people were killed and more than a thousand were seriously injured in railroad crossing accidents.
