[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by WetumkaFats</i> <br /><br />The Austin Terminal Railroad has a grade crossing on North Lamar Blvd, a four-lane, very busy street, that has signs posted informing drivers that the trains do not whistle at that grade crossing. The only reason that there has not been carnage, in my opinion, is because the rail line has light traffic for industrial switching, I believe. Of course, the stupidity of Austin drivers is, or should be, proverbial. One of these days, some poor soul will get hit by a train on one of those crossings and the city council will go berserk.[banghead] <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I guess that, in fairness, I ought to modify the post with two additional pieces of information: First, I am talking about Austin, TX, not the one up north. Second, there are four-quadrant crossing gates on the crossing.
