WSP Trooper Goes Undercover To Catch Crossing Violators
It always amazes me that people are in such a hurry that they would risk their lives by driving around the swing arms at railroad crossings. But apparently a lot of people do, as a sting operation yesterday left dozens of drivers with tickets. Check out how a WSP trooper went undercover to catch these people, then read about SRTC's proposed Bridging the Valley project that would help eliminate incidences like this. Do you think the Bridging the Valley project will help to keep trains and automobiles apart?
