William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

WTF?  Wink

Lest that cause any distress, the last word is of course "fiddlesticks". Although I can't for the life of me figure out how to make this mouse-pointer-hovery-pop-up-thingy work.
