Dan, I hope what I wrote about the trucker's attitudes did not offend you. I was only sharing what I have heard from some drivers. I know about the lack of braking of a train, and "THAT" is what really scares me! I do very much respect your profession! Since you are in Maine, I doubt our paths will ever cross... but I will still stop and listen at every crossing! Just remember what I said about seeing a semi truck at an angled crossing... it might not see you... so make sure it hears you! My Great-Uncle (who built the very house that I am living in) was killed (along with 2 other neighbor farmers) by a train at a blind crossing, back in 1960. There were no signals back then for a lot of the rural crossings and the trees grew a lot closer to the tracks. So I think about train/vehicle encounters everytime I cross a set of tracks! Interesting coincidence was that in the mid '70s... my Dad (who bought this house from my Great-Uncle's estate) rented it to a railroad engineer to live in. Weird coincidence huh?! Take care Dan!
