Under-protected, deadly train crossings in Chicago area
The ABC7 I-Team investigated Chicagoland train crossings and uncovered collisions happening with little warning.
The rails' failing grade results from a fatal combination. Illinois has the second-most miles of train tracks in the country and the second largest number of crossings, putting people in the paths of trains every day across the state, with more than 100 collisions a year statewide.
