RAILROADS START TAKING SAFETY SERIOUSLY IN POLK COUNTY
Lakeland is getting its first ever quad gates at two railroad crossings, possibly a reaction to two fatal crashes involving trains in 2007.
In June 2007 and July 2007 two crashes happened at railroad crossings, one at Wabash Avenue and one at Airport Road. A total of five people were tragically killed at those two collisions. When a train and a car have a collision, the train will win every time.
The installation of these quad gates will prevent people from going around the gates that traditionally come down and hopefully lead to fewer incidents in the future. As a precaution any time a motorist sees the flashing lights do not cross the line. Stay well back because that train is coming fast and will not be able to stop if your car happens to sputter out right on the tracks.
