I don't think the tape helps much in the middle of a snow storm day or night.

The vehicles and people shouldn't be in the way of a train anyways without authority. Being an employee or in an employee vehicle doesn't change the physics of stopping a train.

These things suck. It's already ten degrees hotter than hell out here in the dead of Summer, these damn things dont help. Yes they make you more visible, I admit that but I still hate em. They get snagged on everything as well as making you easily seen to the bums and crackheads we have around here.
