Police called because train was interrupting church

[trainman1980]

My friend in Warren,AR heard on the scanner that someone called the police because the train interrupted church service yesterday.Of course the police didn't respond to the call.I think I know what church it was because I turned around in the parking lot and the church is at a crossing with crossbucks.

If you build a church near a railroad track...

Probably the Westboro Baptist Church

omg!!! we're going to be late for church!. "Quick Henry, run through the crossing and beat the train."

People are in a hurry to get everywhere, weather it's church, home, grocery store. And soccer mom's are the worst! They'll run you over with their big SUV's.

It is the case where i live, the church is located in the old residential sector, and has been build build in front of the track like everything important in the 1800 era.

textual representation of a sunday assembly :
...The angels went down the sky... ROOOOAAAAAAARRR TCHOOOOO TCHOOOOO KLACK KLACK KLACK ....... (5 mins later) klick klick klack.... Amen !

And soccer mom's are the worst! They'll run you over with their big SUV's.

Did they expect the police to pull the train over?
Maybe the cops should have and held up the crossing for longer.

It was about the horn being blown at the crossing interrupting service.

It was about the horn being blown at the crossing interrupting service.

If the intersection isn't designed and posted as a "no horn" zone, the engineer HAS to blow the horn.
The intersection on N. 33rd, just south of Cornhusker Hwy. here in Lincoln is designed and constructed so that there is no possible way a car can get past the gates when they are down. It is a designated "no horn" intersection.

Blow, Gabriel, blow!
