It was a standard crossing. The road is hardsurfaced and I understand the train does use the tracks 2-3 times a week. It runs from Pembroke to Ottawa. I have been driving that road every Thurs night at the same time for the last 18 months on my way to my riding lesson and have NEVER encountered a train at that time, however, I understand it does come through fairly regularly. <br /> <br />The area where the train crossing is, is low-lying and lots of brush and swamp on both sides, yet within 0.5km, there are houses and farms. There are enough homes in the area to warrant a safer crossing, yet not enough to warrant the elminiaiton of the whistle blowing. The traffic on the road is fairly steady. <br /> <br />I will let you know what I find out from the city. <br /> <br />I have photos of the truck and the accident scene on my website, although I didn't get photos of the truck at the scene, as I was taken to the hospital and the truck was taken to the wreckers. <br /> <br />http://photos.yahoo.ca/trish_collins99 under "car wreck". <br /> <br />Trish ;)
