Yesterday, while looking for David Hiles' new yahoo gropu (Riverdaleparkies)
i discovered there's a rail buff's yahoo group called
Riverdalerailfans (Riverdale
Railfans Association)...
One of the list members has posted this video clip on youtube of a very near
miss at our RxR crossing last month:

Seeing this sure makes you appreciate why the train engineers might be a
little horn-happy! I'm guessing they see this kind of
nightmare-in-the-making unfolding right before their eyes way too often. And
it makes me appreciate our town officials who have been pushing to get an
upgrade to the crossing gates -- Presumably, when that actually happens,
this particular kind of stupid act will no longer be impossible.
