People, The law of plain simple COMMON SENSE applies wherever and whenever
you cross railroad tracks. It's not like you can't hear a train coming it's
just as loud doing 90 mph as it is 35. I feel for the engineers who have got
to cringe everytime they cross a public crossing.Just wondering if an idiot
will try to race them. Sounds to me like this town needs to educate it's
citizens on railroad safety or install a walk bridge over the tracks!! Go
Amtrak!!
