Re: Guardian Angels but who do we tell



I had something like that happen on Frederick Road crossing of the Grange
line some months back - the police were busy with accidents, but the
TransAdelaide Transit Police were able to tell me that the train drivers had
been warned about cars passing around downed boom gates. I'm not sure if the
Transit Police would attend dropped boom gates, but it's worth trying them.
