My maternal uncle is a many-years-veteran of driving trains, and I think your estimate may be on the low side. Possibly for vehicle accidents alone; it certainly doesn't cover pedestrians and suicides. "Suicide by train" is like "suicide by cop" in some areas, and people don't always realize it's "suicide by train driver" as well.

I think those numbers are about right for eighteen-wheeler drivers, though, who face similar problems as the driver of something to which your car is a tin can.

My uncle's current job is to travel all around the Midwest dealing with crossing safety issues for his company, and trying to get more crossings upgraded or better yet, closed. People don't want their crossings regulated with lights and signs, much less totally closed, even when people get killed - but the days when a freight train stopped (or could stop) for every level crossing dirt track are long gone.

Glad she survived so far; hope she makes it out the other side okay.
