MC-- <br /> <br />You would be interested to know (probably) that at least 1 Texas district court (Nueces County) has ruled that track equipment (motorcars, hi-rails etc.) are indeed trains, regardless of the CGOR or whatever rule book you want to pick. Did it on the basis of a DPS officer's testimony. Motorcar operator who was riding backwards, wasn't looking and was running at high speed broadsided the second trailer of a tandem rig occupying the crossing. <br /> <br />Don't ask my opinion on this--you can probably figure it out! <br /> <br />So watch out, guys, there's always a judge out there to tell you it ain't the way you think.[banghead]
