Page 4j Thursday, Septemýber 9th, 1.971, WHI TE3Y FRES PRESS lJnmarked Rail Crossing Claims Two Lives -by làn Quail Whiîtb y-Two Oshawa girls dled ln- stantly last Friday night when their car was sI iced in two by an eastbound train. The girls, Maria Paziuk, 16, of Il 75 Nelson Street, and Shelley Mack- ness, 15, of 322 Windsor Street were driving north on Hickory Street at 8: 15 p. m. during a heavy rainstorm. VI si1bi1 i ty was made worse by heavy fog and th-e colli sion happened as the car proceeded over the double tracks at the Hickory Street crossing. AI though most of the rai lroad cross- ings in Whitby are marked by flashing red lights, the Hickory Street cross- ing IS NOT MARKEID, except for the usual railroad crossing signi. So great w as the force of the im- pact, the rear half of the car was car- ried about I00 feet up the tracks, and the front haîf of the vehicle was car- ried alIl the way ta the Dundas Street rail road overpass. Heavy rains in the prea prevented the removal of the wreckage until1 Sat- urday night. It 15 obvious from the force of the coll1ision that the train engineer had no warning of the impending accident. Out it is even more obvious that the girls in the car coul dnot have had any warn- ing. RENOVATION C_EAROU T 2PCE.

R. said the a ve ra ge cost for the install1ation of such a red flashing signal device is about $ 16, 000. Surel1y th is was a smal1I pr ice ta pay to save at least two 1ives. When amunicipal ity wants an elec- tric warning device installed, it must ask the Rai lroad Transport Commiss- ion in Ottawa. VVhy s houlId the Town of Whitby even have ta ask for a safe- ty device that is so obviously needed? When a flashing signal is installed the costs are shared three wvays, ac- cording to Mr. O1Drien. The Railroad Transport Commiss- ion woul dpay 00%, the railIroad 71-% and, in this case, the Town of Whiitby would'pay 12%o. If the Town of Wh itby has ta ask the R ail1 r o ad Transport Commission ta have ail our crossings prottected wvith red flas'hing signais, then let's do so t hr o ugh oau r municipal represen- tatives. 9--$16, 000Ois pretty cheap 1life in- surance for the people of this town.
