My old place of work moved a few times and used to be in the SE part of our city. I had to wait at a train intersection every day during rush hour in the morning. That damned train seemed to be a mile long some days and it was a real pisser to sit there for what seemed like 15 minutes.
Some knob drove into the crossing guard thingy trying to beat it coming down. He had to back up to avoid being hit, which thrilled all of us behind him.
