This has been getting out of hand lately. Every other thread is about “truck/train” incidents.
I say that most of the time, it is the trucker’s fault. Usually, the trucker and his big rig try to race across the tracks before the gates are down and then boom…it’s too late. I’m not saying all truckers do this, i’m just saying most do.
All of my prayers to the family that lost a relative. And lets have the number of incidents lower. Before this really becomes a big issue!!

I really don’t understand why some people go into stupid mode when it comes to grade Xings??////
Cheese! People never learn. It’s only a matter of time until round 4 (at least since I’ve been here). [xx(]
wow, i guess we can really see the stupid come out of people at these crossings[V], and i wonder what goes through their minds[?][?][%-)]
wow there has been lots of truck train accidents lately!
HMM LET"S SEE GATES DOWN LIGHTS FLASHING TRAIN JUST MIGHT BE BARRELLING DOWN THE TRACKS TOWARD YOU AT 85MPH [:D][:D][:D][(-D][(-D][(-D][(-D]
WOW! LETS TRY TO BEAT IT! I’m guessing that’s whats going through the heads of these people. That is if there was anything going through their head at all. [V][:(]
[;)]Maybe the Feng Shui of crossing gates lowering sucks the brains out of people approaching the crossing![xx(][:(!]

I think you are absolutley correct on that, but some will never learn that you will NEVER beat a fast moving train. you will end up [xx(]
Kind of makes you wonder how the human race even survives at times…
Today on Truck vs Train a 1999 Mack Dumptruck will take on a EMD SD-70 MAC.[8]
It looks like the trains are keeping their undefeated record. Its a wonder why anyone is willing to fight with them?
