BSJ Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Maybe I am a little deaf and don't always hear the train whistle but I sure make an effort to see if a train is coming from either direction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratcatcher Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 At least the locals will clear up all those cans, drink packs and bottles. Never argue with a train, you'll always lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glasswort Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Many Thai drivers are brilliant at misjudging the speed of of other vehicles on the road so why should the judgement of the speed of oncoming trains be any different? Lunacy in the extreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratcatcher Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 This happens far too often,whats going to happen when/if they get those High speed trains, regards worgeordie Then the vehicle hit by the train will be pushed for 2 kilometres instead of 300 metres.
