Nora said about unmarked crossings and how they still might be in use. Well some of them are being used. I remembered a story that happened in Russia in October 1998. A bus full of people was traveling from a big city to the community nearby. It was about 6pm or so and people were coming back from work. Buses in Russia were not required to stop at the RR crossings back then. Anyway, at the same time some railroad worker forgot to set hand brakes on 8 gravel hoppers, and they started rolling downhill. You can guess what happens next. Hoppers hit the bus at about 40mph right in the middle and splitted it in three parts. The rear stayed on the road unmoved, while the middle was dragged about 1500 feet, with front part braking off. 26 people, including the driver died, another 26 were injured. Most people in the back were inhurt. It was one of the extended extra-long buses , don't know the correct name. the railroad worked who later admitted his mistake was jailed. Very sad story.[:(] <br /> <br /> Stop, and look both ways!
