  • I'M SICK OF PEOPLE COMMENTING SAYING THAT THE TRAIN WAS FAR AWAY ENOUGH FOR THEM TO CROSS! YOU DO NOT CROSS WHEN THE GATES ARE DOWN! PERIOD! IF YOU BLEW OUT YOUR CAR'S TIRE OR WIPED OUT ON YOUR BIKE, YOU WOULD HAVE NO CHANCE! NO MATTER HOW SLOW THE TRAIN'S GOING, IT STILL CAN'T STOP FAST ENOUGH! AND FOR THOSE WHO THINK TRAINS ARE ANNOYING AND SHOULDN'T EXIST, JUST REMEMBER RAILROADS WERE AROUND LONG BEFORE CARS. NEARLY EVERYTHING WE USE IN OUR DAILY LIVES ARE CARRIED ON TRAINS! Look listen live

  • Just let them get killed by the train.

    Darwin in action.

  • its about time when city police work with the railroad i seen cars beat trains and it sometimes it is scary

  • my city needs to do something like this.

  • they should up the fine to 500 bucks

  • @SeberHusky maybe so, but regulation checks require in the event of an accident like building that the train would go through a series of tests to make sure the train car is sound in its ability to perform, and good ole uncle sam doesn't hand out free check up coupons.

  • @cmanmaxwell

    Hitting a car or truck with a train going anywhere under or over 50 mph is like driving through a house with a bulldozer. Trains are damn well near indestructible.

  • @SeberHusky I hope darwin has a hefty checkbook to pay for the repairs to the train with tax money.

  • why dont they just install traffic lights so people actually stop?

  • @Fan2La no...you know whats annoying? when these people that read your comment say: OH WELL ITS NOT GOING TO BLOW OUT BECAUSE THATS VERY UNLIKELY. Cmon guys, its not fucking worth it. hes got a point, would you rather wait 1 minuite, or get your car turned into a tin can? my friends SUV stalled on the tracks and we all got out safely. the car disinigrated when it hit an amtrak going 92mph. dont be stupid, when the lights flash, JUST STOP.

  • @WPRR1 it's to expenseve

  • What a crock, it's almost as ass-backwards as the states seatbelt laws..... I'm for government having less authority.
