Clay's Trains, Cats, Gardens & Paranormal Site

See those animated Crossing gates and Signals above this text? Sure you do, when you see those in action, Lights flashing, bells ringing and gates lowering.

Below is a video that will show and tell you EXACTLY what will happen if you DISOBEY these RR signals when functioning! Five lives, that's right, FIVE LIVES were lost because the driver was in hurry and tried to beat an Amtrak Train! He, nor his passengers had a chance.

[TrainWeb Editor's Note: The video link has been removed as it was no longer working.]

PLEASE DO NOT TRY AND BEAT THE TRAIN
BY RUNNING THROUGH or AROUND THEM!
Expect a train, from any direction, from any track at any Railroad Crossing, at ANY time!

STOP!, LOOK!, LISTEN!, and LIVE!

Don't become a loser AND another senseless, tragic statistic! These types of senseless deaths not only affect the families of those that died, it also affects those on the train, train crews (those in the locomotive), witnesses and those folks, such as police and paramedics that have to work such a tragic scene!
