ya...
luckily the petrol station is not near the side of the road
otherwise...
i think they should reroute the railway and implement electric train
the current route is too dangerous
it's very near to petrol station, hardware factories, shop lots, housing area and military camp
*
There's no more space along that route.

Realignment will be hard.

Perhaps they should consider elevated line.

That's why level crossing should be eliminated, if possible.

true also
i agree with elevated line

As mentioned in The Star, the train collided with fuel tanker.

Meaning, this accident, can be prevent if it is elevated or...............shut down level crossings in busy area, as being done in Klang Valley during KTM Komuter implementation.

my first guess is - lorry driver sleepy, never look left and right before crossing.

although this could be prevented if the level crossings had proper gates.

Proper gates + manned operation, is the key to prevent accidents on level crossing.

not the first time, wont be the last time. when i was staying in KK for a year, i saw at least 3 cases of cars being hit by trains. especially infront of that kkia junction coming out of kepayan.

Hopefully something will be done to prevent this from happening again.

^ I suppose the lorry just pass the road without knowing a train is coming :/ because no1 look after that small road :/

Thats why i wonder why the local authority still want to use railway train :/ change electric powered train lah
*
Electrically powered train is only justifiable when you have large passenger number because the startup cost is really high.

I think it is time for the railway to be elevated. This will reduce or eliminate the number of level crossings.

Damn. That's really bad. Hope no one dies.

Like someone has said here, railway crossings are dangerous. It's better to close the crossing and build an overhead bridge for vehicles to pass through safely, such as the one in Kuala Kangsar.
*
In peninsular, double tracking projects are going to remove level crossings forever.

Authorities should build elevated line altogether.

This will not only eliminate such accidents, but Kota Kinabalu residents will benefit in the sense that they will get a modern commuter railway service, and being elevated means the line can easily extended to the northern areas such as Sepanggar.

Train horn can be very loud, with distinctive sound.

That's why a lorry driver, can escape in most cases.

do elaborate though,

an elevated railway line would mean that trains can course through above while cars and pedestrians can cross the railway track safely underneath using tunnels..

Correct.

In Klang Valley, accidents on KTM Komuter, involving a car is very rare due to the fact that the line has no level crossings.

Normally in a train operation, the train has first traffic priority (standard procedure).

The onus on ensuring safety on level crossing, lies on the people who man/operate the gates...

Most news sources (including NST), suggest that it is, the train that hits the tanker rather than the other way round.
