A steep hill and trees make trains hard to spot at this railroad crossing along East 950 Road northwest of Lawrence. At the urging of parents whose son died at this spot a year ago, the Douglas County Commission is asking for the state to help make it safer.

How many passengers on the Amtraks through here? Do they know of all the pathetic sight obstructed crossings with no signals down this stretch? The private crossings with humps the users need Big Foot to get across? Couple of nice overpasses Mitch. BNSF like it that you made them high enough to double stack their rail-cars on the tax-payers millions.
