GTE Deadly Crossing

[@ZakWolf]

Regarding 5:37 - 8:03, I knew EXACTLY what was going to happen. And hey; Conrail used to run freight trains through my area, too! (Now CSX runs the freight trains here.) And the bit at 8:26 - 9:07, I kind of figured that the train approaching would've really been a speeding Amtrak train, complete with F40PH locomotive!

We watched this in driver's ed back in 1990 a few months after a classmate was killed in a car-train crash.

Define shutting the gate after the horse has bolted:

And a hidden rule is: if there are two or more tracks, don't attempt to cross right after one train passes, as there could be another train approaching seconds later.

I'd rather be delayed 5 minutes then lose a life time.

Although GTE merged with Bell Atlantic to form Verizon more than a decade ago, I still find this video helpful for safety. ❤

[@visionofwellboyofficial]

Thanks for the useful advice. Now I understood the importance of railway sirens

[@CoreyMillionaire2029]

Bells, not sirens.

Nice GTE video! Before GTE bought Contel and merged with Bell Atlantic to become Verizon Communications
