The ongoing issue with malfunctioning grade crossing protection is coming to a head. It's hard to believe that systems that are tried and true on railroads around the world are seemingly unfixable on these two brand new lines.

The full story is HERE.Regional Transportation District officials met with federal railroad officials in Washington on Friday with what they hope is a plan that finally spells out a fix to the much-criticized crossings at intersections along the University of Colorado A-Line, and in turn, averts a possible shutdown of the heavily used line to Denver International Airport.
While regulators at the Federal Railroad Administration havent specifically threatened to suspend service on the A-Line over crossing gates that arent operating correctly, the agency told The Denver Post in a statement Friday that RTD must develop a plan that demonstrates to FRA it has a path forward toward a solution to resolve the timing issues at the crossings.
