Every trip I see at least one if not more cars run the crossing lights (usually driving around the gates) in front of us. You feel pretty helpless knowing what will happen if they don't make it. I haven't had to do it yet, but the scariest thing for me as a conductor is the thought that one day I'm going to have to climb out of the cab and check on the mess. Suicides are also relatively common. Both cars and pedestrians stopping in front of a train, looking the crew in the eye, and forcing a couple of innocent RR employees to do their dirtywork! Other dumb stuff: last week we stopped the train as we were crossing the Mississippi river in North Minneapolis. Two families had taken their kids onto the catwalk to fish! It was hard to maintain my cool while explaining how they would all be dead if we hadn't stopped on time.
