Tried or, those who tried this rose still cannot believe what happened. Reporter ivars are not supposed to cross the tracks unless its free of traffic and they know that they can make. Some drivers said it does not necessarily happen that way. I think, during rush hour people are concerned with getting to where they need to be an safety is not always a part of that decision making.

We could tell you that there is a lot of spots along the peninsula were trying tracks and cars are not at the same level with many of the cars going under the train tracks.
