Stop, Look, and Listen!

In our first few days' driving in Romania we had been approaching RR crossings with great caution...rightly so, it turns out
So here we are back in Sighetul Marmatiei (relieved to be
back in Romania, with our camper/home)







At the apparently disused railroad yard; note weeds...









But wait, who's this guy in the uniform on the bicycle with
the yellow flag?






He has just manually lowered the crossing barriers and is
riding hastily, ahead of the train, to lower the next...









And there's the train, very old and worn cars, with five (we
counted) passengers









The engineer waving







And after it has passed, our man with the yellow flag raises
the barriers and rides on to his next appointed rounds






















































































Remember: Stop, Look, and Listen!
