[QUOTE="Boywondr, post: 4360549, member: 77695"] There is a double set of train tracks in the downtown area of a town I used to deliver. They had a 90° turn in them that went behind a building parallel to them and crossed east/west and north/south streets within the city block. One day I had to wait for a fast train to clear the track. After it had gone by the arms went up and the lights went off so I proceeded across the tracks. As I cleared the tracks I heard a loud rumbling noise and as I looked back another fast moving train came from the other direction hidden behind the building blocking the tracks view, flew by behind me, no train whistle, no track lights on, arms were up, and just missed me by a few feet. That could've been devastating. Expecting the unexpected at train tracks is what goes thru my mind to this day when I have to cross them. [/QUOTE]
