Look Both Ways for Trains

  • There is a pedestrian crossing the tracks in our downtown that has a voice activated warning of an oncoming train. The crossing has a gate and signs: Look Both Ways For Trains.
    There were two trains: one heading west and the second one east, which was much shorter than the first train. Within two minutes after the first train passed, the second train started rolling down the tracks. One of the pleasures of being on Canadian Pacific Railway's main line.
    I have noticed a lot of Kansas City Southern engines at the front or in the middle of a long freight train. The two companies, CPR and KCS merged in 2001.
    If you are ever in our fair town, and have to cross the tracks, be sure to look both ways for trains.

    Looks like a beautiful day up there. My Pop worked for the Pennsylvania Railroad up until it turned into Penn Central. He loved trains. His model railway is still set up in Mom's basement.

      Cochrane has a web of trails, over 70km's which isn't bad for a town. Thanks J

    Bonjour Pat, wow, a very long long train ; and the 2 nd train was long too. In french we have an expression " un train peut en cacher un autre" meaning a train can hide an other train. Thanks my friend for sharing and have a great day.

      Sad thing is they can be very long, and after waiting several minutes for it to pass by, another train. Yesterday, three trains in a row

    Makes me wonder how often railroad crossings are checked and serviced

      This one is. If you get hit by a train at this crossing then you are a candidate for the Who's Tommy, deaf, dumb and blind.
