Hi Scotc, the truck that I drive through the winter is owned by a small propane company and we only hauled over about 4 routes. One of those used to be out of Decatur, ILL.. Coming back I had to come around the east side of Decatur, headed south on 121(?) (it has been a while) then turn onto 36 east. There are 2 sets of tracks at that light. I had to stop between the tracks sometimes (just barerly enough room), unless some fool would decide that they just couldn't make the light at the last minute and jam on their brakes. I got caught across those tracks several times... nervous as a deathrow inmate! If the lights had come on... the car would be pushed through the intersection. I hated that Decatur route. We don't go there anymore, Thank God! When I learned to stop short of the tracks and leave a large space so the tracks were clear (when some @$$ would be poking along not showing signs of intellegence) Then the cars behind me thought they could move me forward to take up that space "ON THE TRACKS" (as though that would get them an advantage getting through the next green light) by honking their horns at me, and yelling out the window for me to pull up... I didn't get mad or flip them off... I just would take my time moving when it was my turn (I know they could see me in the mirror, looking at them and smiling... LOL!
