Someone would have to be exceedingly dumb to think that being in a car hit by a train is somehow survivable. Even a "little" 600 ton commuter train.however, I think there is something to the wrong main running. I think she thought that she was in the clear because those trains "always" run on the right hand. Except that she probably didn't know that they have rull reverse signalling and either track can run either direction. We'll never know, and still incredibly stupid to be on the crossing like that, but it's an interesting aspect. The HVAC cuts when the power cuts. Lights only stay on after the power is cut, running off of battery power. I think the Albany pols will finally fund the $50-$100M to finish the project that wasn't finished in 1984 and finally eliminate the remaining half dozen or so grade crossings entirely. |
