Kev, Wow that is impressive. I often wonder if my husband wants to know what is out there. A matter of fact I am sure he does. I used to not be jelous but I am getting worse (for reasons) So if you are content and your girlfriend is content then you two really got your life together and that is good. You know my husband never acts jelous. I don't know if he knows me well enough to know I am not the sort or if he just doesn't let me know. Either way you are right about the knowing she cares thing. I often wonders if my hubby cares. On the other hand I would not want a green eyed monster that is alwlays suspicious and never trusts me either. Just like every thing else there is no happy medium(lol). Hey no one ever answered my question about any differences in Canadian rail roads and American rail roads. I mean it is probably a dumb question but I am curious to know. The G-rated thing is a good thing. I mean I understand that there may be kids on here looking up train stuff. Or have questions to ask. So I commend this site for that. I did actually have a question. I was talking to my mom last night and was telling her about this site. She brought up a situation that I wanted to ask you all about. First off my whole family is into road construction. My husband, mom, dad and brother (when he was alive). You know for the record I know there are people that don't pay attention when they drive. And I know that people are often times in a hurry. Believe me my mother and husband's lives have been endagered working on the road. On flager was killed a couple years ago because some older guy from Texas was on his Celphone and ran the flagger right down. My husband was almost run over a couple weeks ago by a COMPANY truck that did not see him on the road and was going way to fast. Back to my question my mom often drives a dump truck. She wants to know exactly what is to be done if the cossing is not visually clear and she can not see very far down the tracks. Of course the truck is so loud that she said when the wind blows the wrong direction she can not always hear the whistle. She said she is sure the trains blow them but at times can't hear it. She is driving this dump truck that takes off slower then the adverage vehicle. I know you guys know how that works because trains I am sure have to start slow and pick up speed as it goes. Luckly one of the cossings she goes across has a pull over and stop lane so other don't have to stop if they don't wan't to. I think this helps keep people from passing big trucks at tracks because many of them do stop and it takes them longer to get going again. Any way what is the safest way to handle situations like this? Can't always hear, can't see very far for a big truck to take the time to get across? Is it a take your chances thing or is there a better alternative. This is across the highway and there is really no other way around it especially for a big truck. You know I want my mom to be safe and I want to know if there is any thing I can tell her to increase chances at staying safe. Take care always, Mel
