Where can the public obtain more information about grade crossing safety issues?

Although there is no substitute for one's retaining a skilled, experienced attorney if involved in a grade crossing accident, there are numerous sources of information available to those persons seeking to know more about railroad grade crossing safety issues. The U.S. Government Printing Office publishes such reference materials as the Code of Federal Regulations, the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, and the Railroad Highway Grade Crossing Handbook. These and many other related publications may be ordered by any U.S. Government Bookstore or in some cases directly from the appropriate agency, e.g., the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). In addition, the United States Government Printing Office may be reached online. Organizations such as the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, the United Transportation Union, and the Association of American Railroads (AAR), all promote grade crossing safety through various educational programs and may be contacted directly for further information. Also, newsites and blogs such as those found at Railnews.net and Railroad News Blog provide current news articles on the topic.
