From a visitor in Florida
At 16 living in Ohio, my family and I were going to Michigan to visit my Aunts family; we had to leave late because my dad worked the late shift. My aunt lived out in the country on a farm, no streetlights. We were on a very black double lane highway when up in front of us coming in the other direction we saw a truck stopped and then we realized a train was coming. The gates came down with us on one side and the Truck on the other side. We waited for the train to go past and noticed the truck driver waving at us.
My dad pulled up to the driver and asked if everything was ok. The man said yes but why were we stopped. My dad said because of the train. The man said yeah me too, I thought it was a train but if you look down you will see no tracks. Well that scarred the bejeebers out of us. The truck driver had no explanation and said he traveled this road quite frequently and that was the first time it had ever happened. My dad had no explanation either.
We made many more trips over the next few years and always stopped at that same spot just to see if we might see it again. Sure made the hair stand up on our heads.
