Railroad Crossing Charges

Railroads are out of bounds for cars, but there are some places where they cross each other: railroad crossings. However, when trucks try to cross where they can't, problems occur.

Three years ago a truck driver tried to cross railroad tracks in a place with no crossing. The result: the truck got stuck on the tracks and the train hit it and derailed. Some people were killed, hundreds were injured. You'll never guess who was blamed for this accident.

The train company was blamed for this accident. Why? Because the train driver was supposed to stop. Maybe the judges forgot that it's quite hard to stop a machine that weighs a few tons and goes at 60 mph (100 km/h). These decisions can really make me upset.

When I need to cross railroad tracks, it's always on designated crossings. Trains are too big to hit and stay alive.

Have a great, train-crash free weekend.
