YIKES!!!
Title:  YIKES!!!
Description:  Come on people - on double track lines make sure that BOTH tracks are clear before crossing!!! This young lady started crossing after the first Amtrak passed not waiting for the gates to come up and not being able to tell that a second Amtrak was coming on the other tracks - good thing it was a passenger train already slowing down for the station - CSX and Rocky Mount really need to get OLS in teh schools there - this is the second time I've seen a young person on a bicycle almost hit by a train by crossing when the gates are down. Yes, there are some slow trains there, but a couple of minutes is not worth your life.

Always Wait for the Lights to Turn Off and the Gates to Lift Before Entering (Especially with Double Tracks)
Title:  Always Wait for the Lights to Turn Off and the Gates to Lift Before Entering (Especially with Double Tracks)
Description:  This young lady forgot to do that, and luckily for her, the train on the other track (whose view was totally blocked by a departing Amtrak) was a passenger train slowing down to reach the station. Someone get OLS into the Rocky Mount schools this is the second time I've seen a young person on a bicycle almost get hit by a train. I almost didn't post this because this is the closest I have come to seeing someone hit by a train and it was a truly frightening moment, but did so as a public service announcement
