Guess the switch got thrown after they went by the last fixed signal....

Implications could get serious.

Texting. So retro, Clavalin, most likely he was Skyping or perhaps he was sexting with his girlfriend or maybe his significant other.

Ive noticed now people more commonly make a U-Turn rather than run the gates or just wait. Its comical cause you know they are going to to drive all the way around town instead of wait a couple minutes, its like damn people a 3,000ft train traveling at 50mph isn't going to take very long to clear.

Pipes, I've seen them do that for lite power, they don't even get turned around and look up to see you've cleared the crossing.

aHa ! See that is an international phenomenon, as would be expected.

"A friend" relates frustration with the young conductors' willingness to

pull 3000 ft. cuts out over a crossing and kick them out, causing very much

civilian unrest. Precedent cases indicate if the engineer has requested a move

to clear the crossing, if prosecution did follow, he 'should' be cleared.
