I had to wait at the railroad crossing for a long, long, very long train.
It is a tanker truck which has a climate control system for the cargo. These are used for temperature sensitive loads which have to travel long distances, and works more the same way as a refrigerated box trailer would.
the length ot the truck depends on the length of the trator and the lengthof the trailer usually tho the tanker trailer is 48 feet, and a tractor is about 20 to 25 feet so average length is usually about 70 feet
its depends on your history of driving , where you are , and if their is a train or not
Like most tandem tanker trailers, Flying J's are 48 feet long.
Most railroad class 1 ties are six inches by eight inches by eight foot long. Hard wood ties can either be eight foot six inches or eight foot. Crossing ties can be nine foot long Switch ties can be up to 26 feet long
At a level crossing, the same rules apply to trucks as do to cars, in that the Train always has the right of way. As long as there's no indication of a train coming, (lights flashing, etc) the truck does not have to stop. However, some trucks, particularly those carrying dangerous goods, are required to stop regardless of whether or not the lights are flashing, to check to make sure there is in fact no train coming. If this is the case, there will be a sign on the back of the truck warning that it stops at all railroad crossings.
The sign stands for "Whistle Crossing". Many of these signs say "Begin WX" with the word begin on top of the WX. The sign also instructs the engineer where to start blowing his whistle. Engineer blows standard crossing sequence. Long, Long, short, Long.**ACTUALLY** to answer your question accurately, "W" signs stand for Whistle (for single Crossing). "WX" signs means Whistle for multiple crossings. Straight out of the NORAC railroad rulebook.
About 20 minutes.
Reasons for being late:ran out of gas,roadwork,railroad crossing had a long train,retrieving escaped dog,radiator overheated,
It depends on how long it takes to get the financing in place.
The transcontinental railroad is 690 miles long.
