City workers repair the
train-crossing gate damaged by a speeding car on Soi Siam Country Club.
Vittaya Yoondorn
Railroad-maintenance workers have replaced a train-crossing gate
damaged by a speeding car.
Pattaya Train Station inspector Sowat Wonglaphot led a team of workers to
the rail crossing on Siam Country Club Road April 8 to repair the barricade,
which was bent and broken in a car accident. The gate was obstructing the
railroad, posing a hazard to passing trains.
Workers removed the barricade, cut it into two halves and connected a new
part at the lower side of the beam. The work tied up traffic for about 20
minutes.
Train inspectors can be notified of any signaling or safety problems by
calling 1690.
