Bill,
The one place that used to scare me at times was when I lived near Fresno. Back then the road crossed what seemed to be 20 sets of tracks and there was always trains or switch engines going on some of the tracks. If you got out in the center of that mess and a train was coming you had to stop across another set of tracks. I haven't been there for a long time, but the last time I went down to Fresno when I was working I think they were getting ready to build an overpass or something so people didn't have to go through that. I don't remember ever seeing anyone get hit while crossing all those tracks but it was something to think about every time you started across.
