[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by MP57313 In the Los Angeles area, the new MTA Gold Line opens this weekend, and most of it follows a former Santa Fe route from LA to Pasadena. Most of the crossings have four-quadrant gates and even pedestrian gates. But what do you bet we'll see a fatal accident in the not-too-distant future. Such an accident will likely be caused by the dare-devil/thrill-seeker approach to life that some people have... [/quote] There probably will be some sort of accident. I don't think that there is any crossing anywhere in the world that is 100% idiot-proof. There are a great deal of the daredevils and thrill-seekers out there. I once heard about a guy from a town near where I live whose idea of fun was to stand in the middle of the track as a train was coming and, like a moron, happily wave at the crew on board. He would then jump away at the very last second as the train got right to him. The last time he tried this he had been drinking...I don't think I need to say the outcome. If you think that guy was stupid I also heard of a pedestrian who was so impatient while waiting for a train that he actually tried to craw under the moving train to get to the other side. It's not just the motorists we have to worry about.
