I didn't see a video of a real one till 2014, of all the articulated steam locomotives I think the cab ahead had the most pleasing stack talk, I didn't know till then that just a decade before I got that model all of the 4-8-8-2s were cut up for scrap not one was saved in a museum, oh the sorrow.

    The number of cars on the tracks is itself proof of improper engineering of the road and marking. The track geometry is unexpected by drivers and some will make an incorrect assumption, like it's just some new kind of highway surface.

      As the old saying goes "Assume makes an A** of U and Me". Don't know how many perfectly made roadways there are but will bet there there are almost infinitely more that aren't.
      Was taught a good driver should always be attentive to roadway and driving conditions not leaving anything to chance or "assumptions"-otherwise they are "accidents waiting to happen"!
