Don't guess. Don't rush. Don't risk it.
Because at a level crossing, one mistake is all it takes.

As we go about our busy lives, we rarely take the time to stop and think about the small and large inventions that make our lives a little easier today.
Back in 1826, the Monkland and Kirkintilloch Railway marked the beginning of Scotland’s modern railways. This was thanks to John Birkinshaw’s new wrought iron rails, which were strong enough to carry the weight of steam locomotives and soon replaced the wooden and brittle cast iron rails.
The beginnings were modest, with the first carriages filled with coal and pulled by horses, but this early development paved the way for steam powered locomotives that would soon carry passengers across the country.
