It's a fact ..... Most collisions occur with trains traveling under 30 mph. 64% of all collisions occur in daylight hours. Most collisions occur within 25 miles of the driver's home. At 55 mph, it may take a train up to a mile or more to stop. Nearly 50% of all collisions occur at crossings equipped with automatic warning devices. You are 20 times more likely to die in a collision with a train than in a collision involving another motor vehicle. Nationwide, a collision occurs between a train and vehicle or a train and a pedestrian approximately every 2 hours. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration at the U.S. DOT.
