On a small road near I-66 in Northern Va lies a railcrossing on a curve in some woods. We truckers used to go thru the routine of turning on the CB radio, sorting out the number 1 driver in our batch, sorting out who is where Northbound and South bound and finally the actual status of that crossing. Half a mile from the curve we relied on the opposite side to inform us of if the lights are on and the gates are down as we came around the last curve slowing as we went. It was a ritual every morning. And that crossing was very busy. Sometimes you arrive earlier in your daily run and no one is there to assist you via radio, then you slowed way down and became the "Number one" for other truckers coming to that crossing. When it rained, fog or snowed.. the danger level shot up. Everyone was deadly serious about making it thru that rail crossing alive back in the day.
