I would classify them by dividing them in three groups : those who are wilfully reckless, others stupid, and some fools. "Stop, look and listen" is a good slogan, but I would suggest an educational campaign as to why this is advisable. I think the public in general never realizes the distance a train travels in one second of time, going at the rate of 60 miles per hour. By application of simple arithmetic they will find the result to be 88 feet per second; this distance in a space of time in wh...ich one can hardly lift a hand or wink an eye. Another vital point to be considered is the distance a train will travel going at this rate of speed after all possible has been done in order to stop the train. I dare say it will be nearly one-fourth of a mile. This does not give much time for thought or reflection to one who chances to be in its path of travel, namely the grade cross- ing. I believe if a bulletin could be posted in public places, or through the press, it might be the means of bringing the public to realize the grave responsibilities that may ensue if "Stop, look and listen" is not strictly adhered to.
