So you are really 85 years old and living in a retirement home.

Just gives me an excuse to go to the store and see what else they have hanging around.

And that means the horn is superfluous. The flashing lights ALREADY tell you a train is coming. The horn should add no further urgency to getting the hell off the tracks.

And the gates are down. Possible it got stuck on a hump.

They must have cleaned that up. Didn’t see any when we were there in 2016.

Train driver has a duty independent of the lights working/not working.

Won’t respond to any button or combo. Total brick. Not even recognized by my computer. Going back.

Reminds me of this Ben Folds Five classic.

I believe they did many years ago. They also finally got rid of Chuck Norris’ body. :D

You're assuming he saw it before that.

It's a contributory negligence issue. The article said they tried to stop the train, but didn't know of the truck on the track early enough to stop the train.

Lack of sparks don't mean brakes were not engaged.

I have and I found it awesome as in I was in total awe at how modern stadiums are essentially the same. Incredible.

I looked up the story, and found the crossing where this occurred (probably) . This is from the other side of the crossing. The sign is especially poignant.

the horn is just your last warning. it means the train driver has seen you but if you don't move it's too late. he's not stopping before he hits you, even if he slams on the emergency brakes.

The sheer ugliness of the gear has put me off, that and the reputed horribility of servicing their hydro brakes.

Holy cow, that sucks! The boat stuff better not do that!

Even 700 years before, the basic raised, ramped oval around the central area had already been worked out by the Greeks. But the Romans went BIG!
