Can't have signals without railroads, so talk about your favorite locomotives, railroads and any other (non signal) railroad related stuff.

The concept of "Yield" appears to be lost on several drivers, especially the one at 1:27.

The really bad thing about that is that the horn in full of snow to the point you can't hear it. If that van had gotten hit, they probably wouldn't have been at fault because of that issue.
That's why I think all horns should have the UP style shower caps/snow bonnets, keeps that from happening.

Mafarnz, you might be right...

However, the driver couldn't see that huge black locomotive coming at them? And if there are yield signs below the crossbucks, then the driver is supposed to yield to the train.

Are you implying that people are supposed to pay attention to what is going on around them when they are driving!? What a strange thing to say! :LOL3:
