Hi Goat, <br /> <br />Yes true we have a lot of crossing and they seam always to close when I drive there. [:D] <br /> <br />Not sure what you mean with an “dutch drop"!? <br />but if you mean how we close the crossings, its like Court described, when they start closing the bells ring about 3 times an second till the gates are down. When they are down the bells remain clinging ones every second. <br />This will keep on till they completely up again and it’s safe to pass the crossing. <br /> <br />If that’s not what you’re after, <br />Well.... we Dutch never "drop" anything. [:p] (like you) <br />Or... what we Dutch call "drop" is a kind of sweet is rather salty, most foreign don’t like them, In case your one of those, you can send the “drop” to me. [:D][:D] <br /> <br />To all, <br />For those who are interested, the “Plan V” shown in the picture, is mostly use in “local trains” which stop at every station. Although they do service as intercity in combination with “plan T” which look a little like the “plan V” but is larger. (4 passenger cars i.s.o. 2) <br />And a few year back we had “Plan P &Q” nicknames “hondenkop” or “Benelux” they look similar too and they used to be intercity trains, but they are out of service now and replace by several types of Double Deck trains. (as we call it) <br /> <br />I am sure if ppl want more information about trains in The Netherlands, Court and I can help you.[:)] <br />Krgds <br />Cor <br />
