STAY OFF THE TRACKS

Earlier this year I was driving up Pacific Coast Highway, near Long Beach, when I came to a crossing. The gates were down, red lights were flashing and bells were ringing as a slow-moving BNSF freight advanced. <br /> <br />I could not believe my eyes as cars stopped in both directions on PCH suddenly started flying around the lowered gates! This was not one or two cars; it was the MAJORITY of the vehicles that had been stopped. I must have seen 12 or more vehicles go around the gates--not only endangering themselves by driving in front of an oncoming train, but also putting themselves at risk of collisions with cars going around the gates the *other* way. I wish I had a video camera to document this "stampede." I have never seen anything like it!
