RE: wow
I'm a conductor for the rail road and I will let you know it happens all the time. The tracks are for trains not cars. About 3 weeks ago a lady had her 4 small children in her van, she back out of her parking spot and floored it to beat the train at the crossing. (parking lot cameras showed this. Well when she got to the crossing she was going to beat the east bound train but was clobbered by the west bound train. killed two of the baby girls I think they were around 4 years old. she was in critical condition.
I had a close call last week had to put the train in emergency for a drunk decided to floor it to beat us across if we didn't see him and put the trains brakes in emergency we would of creamed his butt. My last one the guy was looking back wanting to merge and was not looking for the lights were flashing we were blowing the horn but he finally turned saw us and stopped. the funny part was he started getting beat on by his woman who was in the passenger seat.
Uk Pony you ask what kind of a dumb butt will do this it happens everyday. I know thee are alot of young guys here so, listen I work on the rail road I know how dangerous these trains are. If you see the signs slow down and look. If you've seen what I've seen you don't want to get hit by the train. You've seen meat being ground through a meat grinder well that is all I'll say.
BUT THAT WOULD OF BEENFUNNY, THEY SHOULD OF CALL DISPATCH AND HAD THE RAILS LINED FOR THE CAR......
8 AND SAND BABY!!!!!that means full throttle andsandthe tracks for traction...
sorry to ramble but I see stupid crap like this all the time.
