Just train pictures and train stories

Sometimes when they design something and find something else that is really in the way, often they have no choice but sometimes risk something so dangerous or deadly.

Perfect example is the Fenway baseball field, they can't expand due to something else that is blocking the expansion.

Also, other where I used to grew up with plenty of tunnels. I am not afraid of tunnel and what a rush driving 100MPH into tunnel hole (Yes my wife got scare shitless) anyway when I got under Boston (Tunnel) I can't believe they got entrance and exits within tunnel itself. Wondering what happens if there are an accident, Major clean up?

Train tracks behind Fenway, right?
 
Train hitting a vehicle in slow-motion...not pretty for sure.

Easy. You see the box above the comment section? Okay. There's an earth with a chain, which is for videos. To the right, three options over, is a yellow box. Click on that, and install the URL for your pictures. If you want the videos, go to the earth and chain, click on that, and do the same. However, make sure you remove the s from https//: as it will show up that way.

Don't need one to install pictures and videos from the Internet. However, if you're gonna install your own videos, a free account such as Photobucket or similar will help you.

As for URL, looks like what some of us have put for videos and pictures. Take a look at those, and get a good idea. Wish I could show you.

That is an Internet URL.
 
thanks...afraid some of us is total dim wits alas that is me....my memory I forget where I put it
 
The way I see it, when you're driving a train you're trusting that everyone else has done their job properly too. That every ground frame (manual switch) has been put back in the right position, every automatic switch is in good repair, every fishplate and tie and weld is as it should be, because if it's not, it will go wrong in a split second.

But in a way, that's true when you drive a vehicle on the road too, you're trusting every other driver to obey the stop signs and traffic lights. As a biker, you know damn well what will happen if someone pulls out in front of you - you might not even survive to hear them sheepishly say 'sorry, I didn't see you'.

Here in Toronto, the streetcar drivers are under orders to go around each corner and over each switch at either 10 or 15kph (I forget which) to ensure they don't suddenly change direction and strike inattentive pedestrians or motorists, and to check that the switch is set in the right direction for their route because some are still changed manually!
