Ah the stupidity of people....... I used to work for a railroad and we had taken all of the crossings out of service to secure the gates so that they wouldn't snap off in the wind during a hurricane. Because of this it was all "Stop and Protect" and a cop nearly hit me while flagging the crossing and we got in a shouting match. he tried to go but i stood my ground if i hadn't he would have been hit by the train!! Another time i have seen patrol cars go around gates. It's a sad thing people have no respect for the Railroad. Another case, I have seen people sitting on bridges in lawn chairs set up in the gauge fishing, the guy had to jump in the water to avoid being HIT!!!! Another sad case of adults etting a poor example for there children. A young girl maybe 4 or 5 was with her mom aunt and grandmother. I was nearby and noticed then standing in the gauge. I askthem if they were waiting for the train, they answer with oh the trains don't run here. WRONG i told them there are 2 trains per day!!!! I also told them that trains or no trains it doesn't matter they are setting a very poor example for the child as she might end up viviting a relative someplace else where they are trains and she could get splattered!!! They were mad at me for telling them. They should be mad at themselves. Another case trains were being run for a local festival while pulling into the station a 13-14 year old kid was jumping onto the tracks and running back in forth and his parents thought it was funny, I grabbed the kid and pulkled him back because the train was only 15 feet from him. His parents were mad at me and I called for a police officer and you know what there was one nearby thew whole time and he couldn't understand what the big deal was?
