Does anyone think it would be a good idea for the Gold Line to run Operation Lifesaver trains?

LOL. If these dimwits aren’t looking at the huge gates and flashing lights, then they’re certainly not looking at the sides of the trains.

Though that’s quite a tempting idea nonetheless.

Heh, I was thinking more along the lines of the Metrolink Operation Lifesaver trains. The special OLS Metrolink trains usually run with a cop or two in the cab and they call in grade crossing offenders/ trespassers to local authorities.

I definitely think increased enforcement and education is a good thing.
