Peirce, I didn't really know where to post this, especially in light of the many crossing accidents just recently. It does, however, have a place. Perhaps done by someone who had to clean up after one too many stupid people involved in crossing accidents? trainorders sign [ 11 December 2001: Message edited by: fitz ]</p>
Years ago when they used to have the "Stop Look and Listen" signs at crossings, someone chalked: "Violators will be dusted".
Good catch! Dark Humor is a good category for this. It will also fit in "Crossing Signals and Signs."
In the chicago area there is a limestone quarry located at the intersection of Ill 171, Ogden Ave and 1st Ave. There is a cyclone fence about 8' high with barbed wire on top completely around the quarry pit. On the Ill 171 side, the fence is about 1' from the rim of the quarry. It is at least a 200 ' drop STRAIGHT down! There were porcelain enamel signs on the fence stating "No Trespassing, Violators will be prosecuted". Many times I have wanted to make a sign to post below it stating "Not too mention damn surprised". I dont know how many trespassers ever made it over the fence and survive to be prosecuted! Charlie T
Out in west Texas cattle country, you can see many signs on pasture fences stating that "Tresspassers will be shot", but the one I liked was the ones Kiet Dunn had on his ranch: "Tresspassing will be your last passing"!
