It may have to do with the crossings getting more activity. I've only seen those at MBTA crossings. Before MBTA came along, CSX used the crossings just 2x a day. Now it's up to 25 a day.

I think it's their way of telling people that train counts have increased.

1.common scene isnt so common anymore
2. stupid F :Censored: Kers cant stay out of the way of any commuter train i know of
Chicago is id say the worst nearly everyday someone is hit by one of their trains
mbta thou had a few very tragic wreck lately include one in which a 5 year old kid road his bike around the crossing gate and got nailed by mbta going 75 mph
on another note its a big trend nowadays that suicidal teen are doing is standing in front of trains
have a few friends in the industry that have hit teens and other suicidal people
