Look! Listen! Live!
For live years ths grade cross
ing involved in the accident shown
here had been on the driver's
route. He drove over it every day
at almost exactly the same hour
and minute. He never met a train
there before, and that old monster
familiarity bred contempt for pos
sible accident hazards.
But we're in a war and far more
trains are running than in peace
time. It's "train time" at crossings
much more frequently. Just before
he lost his life, this driver drove
onto the crossing in the path of a
freight train. The accident oc
curred in daylight and the view of
the truck driver was unobstructed.
The train was delayed two hours.
For safety's sake, figure that it's
train time all the time at all grade
crossings.
The National Safety Council is
conducting a special campaign to
stop these accidents, which every
day delay 38 trains a total of 22
hours a damaging blow to the
nation's war transportation efforts.
Driver-carelessness is the cause of
almost all grade crossing accidents,

and others needless suffering, the
Council asks you to be sure the
track is clear before you start
