Doesn't that seem a bit short-sided to assume that people will only attempt suicide at railroad crossings and nowhere else along the rail line?

Fences. Now, 8 foot fences with anti-climbing devices on top.

Oh, heh if they have a fence covering all the rail that seems more realistic.

I live in the Ohio and never saw anything like that, so was a bit puzzled how they thought guarding the crossing alone would help.
