The little girl was not very much to blame. Why?
If you had attempted to cross and been hurt you would have been to blame. Why?
STOP! LOOK! LISTEN!
You have often seen this sign. It stands at unprotected railroad crossings to warn of danger. It says to everyone: Stop a moment before crossing!
Look up and down the tracks!
Listen for the engine!
If these three words were heeded, very few accidents would happen at the crossings.
Think what railroad tracks are for. They are made for trains to run over, and not for people to walk on. If people remembered this and kept off the tracks except at crossings, many lives would be saved.
