As a point of interest, Operation Lifesaver has changed a few of the cliches normally associated with grade crossings. One is from "Trains can't stop, you can", to "Trains can't stop quickly". A number of news reports and news documentaries gave the impression that trains don't stop at all. Of course, there's nothing more absurd. Another is from "Stop, Look and Listen" to "Look, Listen and Live". According to OL literature, someone who had just been to an OL presentation came upon a siding that crossed a main street. The driver did just what they had just heard and was rear-ended by the following vehicle. The incident resulted in civil litigation which prompted OL to change the wording. Just when you thought you've heard everything..... <br />Regards and have a safe day. gdc
