Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents arguments for a change in legislation regarding the authority over street railway crossings at grade. The author contends that the current law, which grants a majority of a Board of Selectmen the power to authorize such crossings without the consent of the Railroad Commissioners, is an anomaly in light of the established policy of the Commonwealth to prioritize safety at railroad crossings. The author provides historical context on the evolution of legislation related to railroad crossings and highlights the increased danger posed by electric street railways crossing steam railroads at grade. The book explores the various dangers associated with such crossings, including the potential for accidents involving both electric cars and steam trains, and argues that the current law does not adequately address these risks. The author proposes that the responsibility for authorizing grade crossings should be shifted to the Board of Railroad Commissioners, a disinterested and competent tribunal that can consider all the interests involved and determine the safest course of action. The book concludes by emphasizing the importance of prioritizing public safety and calls for a change in the law that will ensure that all grade crossings are properly regulated and protected.
