Level Cross Accident

Level Cross Accidents – Less known CAUSE

In unmanned level crossings, we have seen too many collisions between 

Trains and crossing  Vehicles.

Normally it is believed that wrong timing causes the accidents.

Another probable cause behind is Static Current.

On coming train generates static electricity on the rails, which is capable of 

switching off the ignition of crossing vehicle, stopping it dead on the track.

So even if  there is more than sufficient time to cross the tracks, static 

current might prove it wrong. 

So it is safer to let the oncoming train to pass and cross.
