That’s His Story And He’s Sticking To It

Park or shift on tracks. I race yellow lights. Sometimes I lose.

 

Not parking on tracks shouldn't be a rule.

Like not deciding to jog incircles on the interstate isn't.

 

Don't race the lights in Illinois... They have a lot of red light cameras. One of only a hand full of places that I know they use them

 

We have four in our little town. Learned the hard way and donated $50. I was the only one on the road at 2am and it mysteriously changed at the perfect time.

 

They took them out in Cali and other places because it takes a picture of the plate not the driver . You can’t ticket a car for running a red light . That’s how that lawsuit went down .

 

The witness had time to try and warn driver that the train was coming ... driver had his head so far up his you know what I guess he didn’t see that or hear the train that appeared... I suppose he will be saying he got sideswiped and they fired him for that when he applies at Carolina cargo

 

I have seen plenty of drivers try to outrun the gates as they drop, or cross while the reds are still flashing. To my mind, this is suicidal.

I can't count the number of times I've seen one train complete a crossing, the gates go up, and then the gates come right back down again and another train comes charging through heading in the opposite direction.

I personally refuse to cross when the lights are flashing UNLESS there is a railroad representative present who motions me through. This is only found (in my experience) either at crossings close to switching yards or locations where there is maintenance occurring.

I don't try to race trains. I gotta be lucky every time. They only gotta be lucky ONCE!
