A constant outdoor road (G gauge) hazard on the Gulf Coast of Florida is Salamanders (small lizardlike animals with a detachable tail). Although I have never witnessed any carnage personally, I am told by other G gaugers of encounters resulting in a jetisoned Salamander's tail now and again. These animals are incredibly agile and swift, so there is little risk for actual fatalities. Naturally, all road crew membership take every precaution for minimizing any possible incident, i.e. cattle guards, etc. Who would wi***o see the G.E.I.C.O. Gecko come to a greusome end on his shift? Accidental electrocutions have not been reported either. At 16 volts, 3.5 amps D.C., it doesn't seem likely. However, with A.C. powered accessories along the right-of-way, who can be certain there isn't at least some risk to life and limb?
