It's ok Jim - some midwestern drivers like it too. And they are California born and raised. Never been to Arkansas or Missouri, but I hope to change that for him, too.

Ed , being the generous person that I am I was going to make a sizeable contribution to your charity, however when I clicked on the link, to do so, I received an error message stating that the website was not found. Therefore, in an effort to quickly make sure the prize was put to "good use" as soon as possible I have donated it to my checking account. There my funds are not lazy just setting around doing nothing (nuttin). [8D]

In San Francisco, a guy, at night, played chicken with the light rail vehicle.
Oh, he was agile enough to get out of that LRV"S way.
The opposing one.......he went in front of. Taps.
And grief to the operator.

Today while driving home from our company picnic ( I won a door prize of $300.00 yyyyyeaaaaaa) I had to stop at a place where there were tracks then a place for one car then a stop sign. I made sure that I didn't proceed until the car ahead of me went through the stop sign so I wouldn't have to stop on the tracks.
As I did so I thought about this thread and the other thread dealing with tracks and right of way, and keeping people off the tracks, and the Alaska Railroad's 100 foot rule, I said to myself, "Well if no one else listens at least we are practicing what we preach." I was thinking that maybe we were not reaching any people with our safety message but if it makes US more aware then we are doing some good.

Nora said about unmarked crossings and how they still might be in use. Well some of them are being used. I remembered a story that happened in Russia in October 1998. A bus full of people was traveling from a big city to the community nearby. It was about 6pm or so and people were coming back from work. Buses in Russia were not required to stop at the RR crossings back then. Anyway, at the same time some railroad worker forgot to set hand brakes on 8 gravel hoppers, and they started rolling downhill. You can guess what happens next. Hoppers hit the bus at about 40mph right in the middle and splitted it in three parts. The rear stayed on the road unmoved, while the middle was dragged about 1500 feet, with front part braking off. 26 people, including the driver died, another 26 were injured. Most people in the back were inhurt. It was one of the extended extra-long buses , don't know the correct name. the railroad worked who later admitted his mistake was jailed. Very sad story.[:(]

Stop, and look both ways!

You are correct. Interference with Interstate Commerce. And now I believe the USA Patriot Act has application, too. Also, depending on your state, Criminal Trespass.
