Ferro, You serve this nation in a thankless job. Those horrible things to which you are at risk are beyond the comprehension of John Q Public. Please know that you are in our prayers as well as your fellow train drivers and crews.... AND you have our appreciation and SALUTE. Your contributions...

Thank you, 98G, for that well thought and equally well written summation of this incident. This is the essence of why we respect and are so appreciative of our first responders in every discipline - Police, Firefighters, Medics, etc.. Not everyone is willing to run TOWARD danger. These brave...

OK, Tony.... Confession time! Tell us what YOUR mom never knew you did down by the railroad tracks. BTW, as I believe, when Mom arrived in heaven all, yes ALL of my nondisclosures were made known to her.... and Dad was probably right next to her laughing and saying, "That's my boy!" FYI, my...

Luv U 2 Ahab!!! Not a game of "one-up-man-ship" here. I'm just reminded again that "There but for the grace of God" Darwin would have thinned the herd pretty radically our childish mis-steps. Thanks to GOOGLE EARTH I have returned to the old neighborhood. Those tracks upon which we played...

Once again it seems the lunatics are running the asylum ! What a CRAZY decision and flagrant disregard for safety.

A Midland County (Texas) Sheriffs Deputy was struck by a train while responding to a "baby not breathing" emergency and surprisingly "walked away from" the wreckage. Railroad grade crossings are DANGEROUS ! ! ! This incident was caught on camera and should be a valuable lesson to all of us no...
