Was working a local switcher one day long ago. Pulling out of an industry track at 10mph, there was a crossing next to a warehouse. You'd think it's unlikely to hit anything at that speed. But bell&whistle and all, this truck pulls right in front of us as we enter the crossing and we hit him square in the cab. Made that nice tractor look unpretty. Driver jumps out and yells, "just who the hell has the right of way here?"
You'd think a guy would already have that figured out.
I guess you get used to thinking you're the biggest thing on the road, and looking for stop signs and 200 ton locomotives ceases to be a priority.
