goes to drivers who get stuck across the commuter train tracks when their light turns red, causing the train to stop and wait for them.
Runner-up goes to all drivers who get themselves hung up in the intersection, blocking other traffic.
I’m disappointed.
I do not see a single breast in this thread.
I’m moving on.
That’s because, as the sheriff in Woody Allen’s Everything you Always wanted to Know About Sex noted, “They always travel in pairs.”
Come on, you knew that was coming.
How slow do the trains go where you live? Round here, a car get stuck on the track, it’s history.
Calgary has a LRT system and I don’t think that the trains ever really get going that fast, except maybe under the cemetary along Mcleod Tr.
The train was waiting to leave the station, but couldn’t go because of the boobies stuck on the tracks. If it had been going as fast as they normally go, there would have been no contest: Train-2, Stupid Commuters-0.
Okay. Now I’ve got that image stuck in my head. I can’t help it. I’m obsessed.
Ah yes - C-Train fun.
I’m sorry I missed it 
Do I understand this right, they tunnelled under a cemetary?
Yep.
That’s a George Romero film waiting to happen.

boobies.
I would like to add dumbasses that think running in front of a moving train, causing the driver to have to slam on the breaks, is a good idea.
My girlfriend swears that when she saw a U-turning car stop on the tracks, the trolley actually sped up for the collision.
And as far as boobies on the tracks go, I’ll take the A train.
Could have been worse. Could have been DD and then the train may have lost.
I assume you’re talking about 7th Avenue here (as was I) (heart of downtown, for those of you not familiar). I think they need to line the street with electrified barbed wire to prevent people from culling themselves.
(Those are some perky boobies, there - it’s like they would be staring up at you.)
Alas, Calgary is the last place that I can remember where people would actually wait for the light before crossing. I was downtown one day, crossing 7th in fact, and there was no traffic (Busses, C-trains or Cops) within visual range. I crossed against the light and everyone else waited. It was scandalous I’ll tell you.
Of course, I couldn’t believe it when I saw what they did in Toronto. People would cross whenever they got the chance. If traffic was clear in one direction people would start moving, and wait on the centre line to finish crossing. The first time I encountered that as a driver I pissed off a bunch of cars by stopping in the middle of Bay St. to let somebody cross. How I never hit one of them is still a mystery to me.
People don’t jaywalk here. It’s spooky. At the same time, there’s a hyper-deference to pedestrians from motorists, even when you don’t have the light. To the point of annoyance, even, as the whole slowing down-no yo go-no you go dance ends up taking longer. Trust me, I’m not about to jump in front of your vehicle.
Those are siliconed…these are real

Well, you know, any collision is the train’s fault, even if the automobile is speeding and runs a red light. :rolleyes:
Thanks for the link, lieu. From the linked article:
Unbelievable. Your brother runs a red light and gets himself killed (and no doubt inconvenienced a WHOLE lot of train riders when he shut the system down), and somehow the transit system is to blame, and should be shut down until you’re satisfied. I guess it’s easier to blame someone else than live with the knowledge that he did something stupid that got himself killed.
