Hope everyone is alright!
There should be a legal limit as to how humid it can be on any given day during the summer here in the South...

Send me or any other admin a private message or email if you want to submit crossing photos to the site!

The engineer didn't even blow the horn at all!
Also, that driver will get cited. That crash was scary though, notice the other half of the truck continuously being knocked around by the train cars.

Just from the quad gates alone that should be enough to tell you it's a quiet zone...

I know that, but they should be blowing the horn in emergency!
