Big Train/Auto Accident at a Grade Crossing

[fuzzybroken]

Welllll....

Most of these cars were stuck at a red light, they didn't go around the gates. They were lined up (or "queued" as they said in an Australian railway-safety ad) on the tracks, and had no place to go! They still shouldn't have been there, although I'm sure none of them expected that a train would come through until after they were through the intersection. But they still should have heeded the Boy Scout motto, "Be prepared!!!"

The people just need to learn that if the lights are flashing/gates down or some other indicator is on, do not go across the tracks

Gee it look liked those folks really did catch the train, however not the way they would like to. The gates go down, Don't go around!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Crossing gates, build them and they will drive around them.
