Springvale Level Crossing, Melbourne, Aust, Car Stuck on Crossing, 9-2-2012
This level crossing is now gone, the line goes underground at this location now. But it was very common to have vehicles stuck on the level crossing or to have pedestrians run across in front of trains.
And yes, the lights are flashing and the booms are just starting to come down. The problem here is that the red light they are facing should have been green or yellow a little longer so traffic could clear the crossing, well, it will never be a problem for trains now.
Unfortunately, not long before it was opened, a woman pedestrian was killed at this location.
According to the date on the camera this photo was taken at about 8 PM on 2 Feb, 2012.
