Thanks again for submitting the photo, Joe.

If anyone didn't see it, you can still see it in the Trains.com Photos, audio & video section. If you ever want to see a past photo of the day, go to that section (it's under Resources on any page other than the forums on Trains.com) and select Photo of the Day from the pull-down menu.

Yeah Ed, Joe and Nora in one week. What great users I have. [;)]

Hey Joe

I wished more people down here in KY would respect the power of the trains and the crews as well. So far this week I have watched 8 people run the flashing lights at the crossing beside our work. Last week the engineer layed on the horn for how close one was. It's amazing how someone has the b@ll's to run the crossing but when they see that I saw them they turn their head quickly in embarrASSment. I just wonder why people could put their lives at risk like they do, but everyone now is in a hurry to get nowhere.

We did have in June a car that stalled on the tracks that resulted in 3 fatalities. A mother and her two daughters. Believe it or not, the brother of the girls survived. I have always wondered when someone would get hit by beating the train there but I never ever dreamed that it would ever happen with a stalled car. But I will tell you this that I would not be surprised when the day comes that someone tries to beat the train and loses.

I know that there are many people that have probably witnessed something like this but I cannot figure out that after something like this happens they still have no regard for anything. I have now seen first hand what happens at a crossing in a vehicle/train collision, and let me tell you that you don't ever forget it. I have much greater respect for life. And I have much more respect for the train crew.

Anyway I was happy to see that you made the picture of the day.
