Warning

Last night my husband and I were leaving Silver City and decided to take Concession Rd 7 from Walker Road to #42 to go home. Just past Windsor Christian Fellowship, the PT Cruiser in front of us started to go up the little hump and suddenly stopped at the top and put their car in reverse. Then we heard a train's horn sound. The PT backed up and so did we.
There was absolutely no warning that a train was coming other than the horn seconds from it's crossing. This crossing bears no lights and no arms to prevent an accident from happening. Just a stick with an "x" on either side. One tiny distraction (we were discussing the movie we had just seen) and lives would be changed forever.
I will never take this route again and I urge others to steer clear as well. I can't believe that a road so close to a huge retail area where hundreds of people drive had no lights and no arms to warn of a passing train. This is reckless disregard for public safety in my opinion.
