We are working to find out who owns the crossing in question, stay tuned to TV8 for firther updates. Gee Linsay, try calling that number right over your shoulder on the crossing sign.....
And the guy says, "No horn"...Linsay asks "well what about the big lights on the front?"..."no lights, no bell, nothing," he says.
The Iphone pics look weird to me. And a lil investagative reporting would go a long way to cover this story a whole lot better...as in FOLLOW THE TRACKS BACK DOWNTOWN TO THE YARD..... OR call that number.

According to Facebook posts the crossing was in a Stop and Flag mode. As in, stop, get out and light a fusee, proceed onto the crossing and proceed northward. One would assume the train would then be its own marker for the crossing being occupied...trains have a way of doing that ya know....

That's why the article is absolutely idiotic.

Fake news. :lol:
