Network Rail has been fined £450,000 after a woman died when the car she was in was hit by a train at a level crossing.
The firm and one of its signalmen Adrian Maund were found guilty of breaching health and safety laws following the death in the village of Moreton-on-Lugg, Herefordshire.
Maund was fined £1,750 and ordered to do 275 hours of community service.
He was convicted in February of failing to take reasonable care for the safety of those using the level crossing.
Jurors also convicted Network Rail of failing to ensure the safety of non-employees at the crossing.
The victim Jane Harding, 52, died when the car she was a passenger in was hit by a train in January 2010.
Mrs Harding's husband Mark, who was driving the car, suffered serious injuries in the collision which happened when the crossing's barriers were raised by mistake.
Network Rail decided not to install a safety device which would have detected the oncoming train and kept the barriers down, the trial heard.
