Both are north of me, what are you saying?

 

[actaeon277]

if only there were some way to know where the train was going. If only they could make a train "road", maybe using rails, so that they didn't sneak up on you.

People are ****ing stupid, that's what's going on. Same **** thats always going on when someone gets hit by a train unless the crossing gate is broken or malfunctioning. People dont pay attention. Or in the first cars case I bet you he tried to intentionally beat the train which they should charge him and lock his ass up for.
Or in some cases they got their ghetto blaster (radio), or rice burner muffler so damn loud they cant hear the train horn. A TRAIN HORN!!! A lot of people like to commit suicide by train too. Go jump off a bridge or something that doesn't involve someone else having to live with the what if's, because you involve an innocent person. If you wanna check out go right ahead, its your choice just do it alone. Same with suicide by cop, stop being a ***** and stab yourself in the neck with your kitchen knife on your own and dont involve the cops.
All the dumb ****s I see playing on their phones and putting on makeup and a host of other things while they drive, it's no wonder people run into a damn huge ****ing TRAIN you stupid idiot people!!
Most people I'm surprised have enough natural instinct to breath on their own.
Greenwood has a very high per capita dumbass rate I've found. Followed by a close beech grove but greenwood has the dull edge.

There was a Mustang? In Greenwood?!

All we can do is pray for a zombie apocalypse to cleanse the earth

Not anymore.

 

[Itchytriggerfinger]

Not anymore.

It's ok. I think it was Herbert Hoover who said there'd be "A can of Aquanet in every medicine cabinet and a Mustang in every garage" when he campaigned in Greenwood.

There’s a Lamborghini in my neighborhood. And a minivan

That's a fact, and since walmart went in seems like drivers got worse. Can't tell how many times I've almost been hit by people not paying attention, some realize they're about to hit a truck that's a lot bigger than their honda or volkswagon and they swerve back over to almost loose control, while others keep changing lanes without looking to just look at you like WTF is wrong with you. I avoid driving in cities anymore, all cities. Plus if it snows all hell breaks loose

Greenwood drivers suck, always have, probably always will.

One reason I avoid Nashville too. Locals know the roads and where stop signs are. Tourists stop in town thinking it's a 4 way or a gradual turn is a 90 degree

I'm pretty sure Mustang owners are forbidden by law from keeping them in garages. That's why every one I've ever seen that's more than 6 months old is sun-baked and covered in a mix of rust, gravel dust and bird ****.

Maybe even putting like a lamp with a light that flashes red when one is coming, possibly even an arm to block the intersection. Maybe even a bell. Even at a minimal, just like a sign that is unique to railroads.

Well now that's just CRAZY talk.

2 outta 3 ain't bad for a campaign promise.

They should give the engineers medals

It's going to get worse...https://www.ibj.com/articles/64735-indiana-railroad-to-see-increase-in-train-traffic-speed

Columbus is putting in a $30M overpass to prevent the west side of town from being cut off by the coming increase in the number, length and speed of trains traveling from Louisville to Indianapolis.

My wife was mentioning the more frequent and longer trains passing through Brownsburg the other day. I reminded her that more is better. A better economy means more goods on the rails. So, it back, relax, and watch the $$$ go by.
