Railroad Crossing - Tina's Fabric Nook

This quilt block shows a railroad crossing against a light blue salmon-patterned background. There is the end of an orange fence on the left, and in front of the crossing signal on the right is another piece of orange fence. The crossing signal has a brown post and at the top are two large two holed buttons, one bright red and one bright yellow, indicating the lights. There is a striped diagonal lighter brown, yellow, and orange strip of fabric coming out of the post at an angle representing the guard that lowers to stop cars from going on the tracks.

I watched the coal cars and thought of stories I’d read about people who had gotten in the car to hide or sleep and didn’t get out before the coal went in.

This quilt block shows a railroad crossing signal and building against a light blue salmon-patterned background. The building next to the signal is tall and orange with a small red door. The signal itself is bright yellow with a large red two-holed button at the end of it indicating the light at the signal.

There are more than 5800 accidents every year in the U.S involving a train and a vehicle. This results in 600 deaths and 2,300 injuries. Surprisingly, a fairly high number of them involve a car hitting a train.
