"DO NOT STOP ON THE TRACKS"

So the sign says and yet at this particular railroad crossing near the Holbrook/Randolph train station the traffic gets so bad and folks are continually not paying attention and wind up stuck on the tracks in bumper to bumper during the rush!!!! Mark my words....someone will be killed as a result of their own stupidity at this crossing!! A couple have been killed in Abington for, I believe, this same reason....they stopped on the tracks and got caught in the crossing gates!!!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

RR Intersections should not be blocked by vehicles just like you should not block a street intersection but the obvious is sometimes hard to see

The only LAW to worry about knowing is the law of "a car can't stop a train and drive away"

People do that on the road to my parents' all the time. If it's the person directly in front of me, I usually leave enough room so they can back up, which translates to enough room to hopefully avoid most of the shrapnel if they don't back up. Sillies.

The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.

I was with my son in his welding truck. We stopped as the warning lights came on. My son made the comment that the a---hole behind him was going to eat his horn soon. The dummy was leaning on it so that we would run the signal and he could get accross too. I wouldn't want to be in that 350 and get whacked with the stuff he carries.

The deaths in Abington were a result of people running round the gates. The station in Randolph is nothing short of a time bomb.
