OMG I counted 9 cars pass thru on this side after the signal activated. THE TRAIN HAD TO STOP!!!! This crossing needs a gate BAD before someone dies.

@0100north There was actually a fatal accident at this xing in 1987

@DrSurprise If i'm not mistaken, the last accident happened way back in january 2005 when a semi hit the tail of the train convoy, derailing two cars

One thing to say... Commission! All those people passing the crossing, those tickets would satisfy someones quota for sure!

This is another cool video showing a railroad crossing on a Canadian highway. I've never seen anything like this in person.

@MrFoofy Gate would be busted off every time a train went through.

You can almost hear the train crew buttholes collectively pucker as they approach the crossing.

[MrMattIntel]

alot of retards at this crossing

[MrFoofy]

lol no one listens to that signal. Should be a gate. I can see numerous accidents on it.

CN must take off this railroad crossing and replace it by an overpass, even if it might be expensive and even there are few trains that use this track, but it will be safer for drivers. Highway 20 is a major connection between Montreal and Quebec city and as it can be seen, drivers don't always have the time to stop just in time before the train passes. I heard that some accident occured in the past. I also borrowed Highway 20 many times in order to go to Drummondville and Quebec from Montreal.
