At about 7PM this evening train 666 hit a car at the Jackson Ave. crossing at Syosset Station. Crew member reporting to 204 said driver of the car had been stopped on the tracks in traffic, and bailed out of the car when the gates came down. No injuries. Car knocked clear to the south side of the crossing. Trains 668, 1734, 1736 being held at Hicksville Sta. Now about 8pm, trains starting to move east from Divide on track 1, thru Syosset, crossing back to track 2 at Amott.

Same old story; very lucky there were no casualties, this time.

Nimbykiller:

"666" represents the "sign of the beast" from The Revelation of St. John the Divine, (or, The Book of Revelation, depending on one's translation) the last book of the New Testament.

So, it should read thus:

Train 666 = 1
Car = 0

Certainly don't be stopping your car at the crossing in Syosset or anywhere else while taking it! :wink:
