The tracks have signs saying "No Trucks Are Allowed To Cross Track " at the intersection....
Ohhhh.....That's why....

Someone mentioned, further back in the thread, "shorting" the tracks with a jumper. We call it "shunting" and it appears that a train is on the tracks ahead. I know with our system, it'll stop the train dead as long as it's far enough ahead of it.
Am I right in assuming that that is NOT the case with a diesel locomotive? It just alerts someone, somewhere, that there is something on the tracks?

About Us

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.
