About 18 yrs ago my sisters boyfriend was driving tractor/trailer with wood chips in Oregon. while pulling out of the loading yard in the winter the tractor slid sideways in the snow while crossing the tracks. Before they could unstick the truck the train destroyed the tractor.
During the incident the railroad personnel instructed them to "short" the rails, as in throw chains or jumper cables across the rails to short them together should this ever occur again. As this would trigger a signal in the system alerting the railroad to a possible track issue. Does this still apply today? If someone were to get stuck on the tracks could you warn the railroad of a problem in this manner? Just curious. |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
