Stop When The Gates Descend...

As we approached the level crossing the gates descended and we waited patiently for the train to pass.

And we waited.

And waited.

We seemed to be waiting forever.

And we began to wonder whether that person on the other side, with the Hi-Viz jacket and phone, had anything to do with the long delay, so I got out the camera, in case something exciting was about to happen.

It was.

A train whooshed past. So we went over the crossing.

And the Hi-Viz vest?

It belonged to a school crossing patrol.

Ç'est la vie.
