[quote user="Datafever"]<p>I find it hard to believe that the engineer would be thinking of "flipping the bird" at someone whose car he is about to run into if said person doesn't take notice and get that car moved pronto. </p><p>[/quote]</p><p> </p><p>My observation pertaining to "flipping off" pertains more towards not so near "misses" that I have observed frequently at the nearby crossings.</p><p> One would agree that the engineer's going beyond the customary long-short-short-long is merited when a car throws itself into danger by driving around the gates.</p><p>Frequently I see the engineers still laying on the horn even after said idiots have cleared the crossing</p><p>So, I'd guess that boiling emotions up in the locomotive cab are at work in those instances. Trying to send a message perhaps ?</p><p> Hey, I'm not saying that I'd be above doing the very same thing, if I were the engineer, In fact I can visualize it.</p><p> </p><p>You should see me when I realize the idiot in front of me is in no big hurry starting up from a stop at an innersection, because he has a cell phone growing out of one ear .<span class="smiley">[censored]</span></p>
