[QUOTE="BLACKBOX, post: 654810, member: 6700"] A couple of years ago when coming to a RR crossing, there was a maybe a two foot snow drift covering the track; I decided to "blast" right through that and get to the other side as I saw the track was clear. As soon as I hit that thing I high-ended the back axle of my PC and found myself going nowhere in the middle of the RR tracks because under that snow hump was a compacted ice hump. You guys just don't know the feeling that you're in a bad situation if the arms start coming down. By the grace of GOD a Dodge Heavy Duty Ram appears out of nowhere and straps on a tow line and yanks me out of harms way. I couldn't thank the driver enough because he and I both knew this was a active RR crossing with Freight and Amtrack trains every 4-6 hours. I still think about that during Winter and it freaks me out. [/QUOTE]
