Ahhh ... we were sitting in a car on Victoria waiting to cross the tracks about that time. It took a while for the crossing to open!
Heh, yeah, there were a lot of cars backed up by the time they did.
Worth noting, and I doubt many people know this, if a railway crossing has no arms, it is effectively a stop sign. If there is no train imminently coming, it is legal to proceed after stopping. Of course, given that people seem to be a poor judge of how fast a train might be moving, perhaps it is just as well that people believe they must wait.
