WORDS TO LIVE BY
In regards to the rail­way vehi­cle and pedes­tri­an col­li­sions. It remind­ed me of
some wis­dom my uncle a rail­way Engi­neer (Hog­ger) told me years ago. First,
“it’s OK to race a train to a cross­ing as long as you win or lose, but don’t end
in a tie.”……Also, “it takes the aver­age train five min­utes to go through a
cross­ing whether you’re on it or not.”….Anonymous.
