A PSA with Blythe and Pepper about railroad crossings

(Vinnie and Mitzi are walking when the railroad crossings activate)

Vinnie: We don't have time to wait for the train, lets hurry and get across.

Mitzi: This is not a good idea sugar plum.

Blythe: She's right.

Pepper: Never try to beat the train.

Blythe: Trains are big, and can't stop quickly.

Pepper: An average freight train going at about 55 miles per hour can take a mile or more to come to a complete stop.

Blythe: Wait until it passes and the gates are up.

(The train passes and the gates come up)

Vinnie: Thanks guys, I could have gotten hurt, but now I now.

All: Because knowing is half the battle.
