This doesn't have to do with speeders directly, but I know we all want to encourage the public to behave safely around trains and railroad tracks. I saw a commercial on TV last night that I thought was disgusting. It showed two engineers in their trains heading toward a crossing, then a car off in the distance, back to the engineers, and then a close-up of the Cadillac Escalade heading for the crossing. The next scene shows the car off in the distance and the two trains going through the crossing. There were no gates, I don’t remember seeing any signals, and this is a lonely road out in the middle of nowhere, but I don’t think any of that matters. Am I wrong here, or is this a commercial that should be pulled immediately? It encourages trying to beat the train at a crossing and I was shocked when I saw it. If enough of us contact Cadillac/GM, maybe they’ll pull the commercial. Patrice Warren |
