RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted December 3, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 3, 2019 On 08/11/2019 at 08:38, APOLLO said: Crazy situation here - Train has to observe road traffic lights, even pulling upgrade. Horn altercation with a truck also. Never seen anything like this before. The Norfolk Southern driver dithers a bit, misses a couple of very short timed green lights then sets off throwing out lit fireworks !! (fusees) but a bit further on the CSX guy times it niceley and barges through !! Brit15 Strange & difficult that the crew is expected to follow road signals while propelling, must be difficult to judge where & when to stop when the front of the train is about 250' ahead 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
