I was in high school. I then went to college for a couple of years, and left when I got sick and missed too many classes (plus I was tired of it). I have gone back in the past and am probably equivalent to a third year.

I have been working for a Railroad Signal Design firm for about 12 years now. I design crossing systems, as well as traffic control systems for railroads. It's a fun job, and very specialized.

Sadly, the more accidents, the more chance it will be fixed. The government has a list of crossings and the number of accidents (split up into fatal/non fatal). Based on that list, they choose the worst of the crossings, and thus hand out federal funding to the railroad in order to upgrade the crossing. It costs about...100-200K to upgrade a crossing, and therefore the railroads will not do it for free.
