36th street NE Calgary......
is a wild ride and when you approach it right after dusk it is very hard to know where to stop if you're not a regular northeast Calgary person. The C train runs down the middle of the street so it's also very wide. So there I was. I saw the red light but I couldn't tell where the stop point was and there was no sign.
So I end up in front of northbound traffic but they have a red light too. This is no good. To get out of their way I continue. NOW I'm on the C train tracks. This is LESS good. So I just say what the hell and blow the light completely. Not a clue how I made it without getting creamed. The rest of the trip I could picture my wife explaining a step-father to my kids.
"That's not your daddy. Your daddy was hit by a train".
Lot's of respectable people get hit by trains.
