Amazing what the average non rail fan can sum up about a railway line in 
the average period of 17 seconds from when that train hits the approach 
to when it arrives at the crossing proper.
Not having boom gates on a line that has 160kmh traffic is utter 
stupidity.Its unsafe for the passengers of the train and certainly 
detrimental to road vehicles.
