And the 1990's Metrolink accident in Burbank where 3 CHP's were escorting a 10,000 lb refining unit and it got hooked up on a crossing for 15 minutes and not one of the cops called Metrolink to warn them even with the 800 number on the crossing control box right in front of them, the wreck almost killed the engineer and destroyed the locomotive
Not one of those stupid cops got in trouble over it!
