<DIV>When I was in Town Hall, I had a very good person at MTA (Mass Transit
Administration) at BWI Airport who would answer questions and get matters
regarding the trains corrected as needed.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have no idea if JOHN MURROW is still the Trainmaster for MARC Train
Service. His number was 410/859-7413 and, as said above, he was very
responsive. He was the one who could tell me the hours of the automated
setting for the train station doors -- he could get a repairman out to correct
any defects with that system. He arranged the group that came
and cleaned up, mulched, and planted around the grounds of the station. At
that time it was a group of young adults from a handicapped help facility and
they did excellent work. Incidentally, a point of curiosity, I worked with
MTA to install the glassed display panels in the station as a way to give the
station some connection to assorted town history subjects. Is that how
these displays are being used today??</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My point is that if John Murrow is no longer at the above number, it's
possible his replacement may also be helpful with some of the questions and
comments I've read about the railroad crossing. For instance, the engineer
is mandated to blow at a certain point as he approaches a crossing -- also, (it
has been relayed to me), when an engineer passes the home of a long-time train
employee, (now retired), he would give a short "toot" to the horn as a
sign of friendship.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I expect John Murrow (or his replacement) would be able to get the history
of past fatalities or other type accidents to you on request so you could assess
the level of hazard without a horn sounding. I hope the same good response
is available to you today.</DIV>
