I was sitting at the tracks waiting for the train to go by, and I remembered something from my past. Some years back, me and my crew were measuring across the tracks about 200-300 feet from a grade crossing, when the steel tape we were using dropped down across the tracks. Bingo. Bells clang, and the gates go down. That must be how trains let the crossings know they're there.
Fortunately, it happened on a back road with little traffic. Can you imagine the disruption if that had happened on a busy main road during rush hour?
Well, enough of me prattling on about my past. On to the news.

HAQ news agency received from reliable sources from the city of Samarra that the American occupation forces today expelled all the workers and staff who work at the dam of Samarra.
The incoming news that only people exist in the place are the American soldiers who are now deployed between infantry over the dam and divers underneath.
Other news also reported that the occupation forces opened Dokan dam and allowed the water to flow since ten days.
Which is among the Samarra street said that the American forces are planning to blow up a disaster which is blowing up the Dam then stick the charge with the Iraqi resistance as it did with the Sarafya bridge and al-Nessur tunnel and others in other places, but this thing is different, because destroying Samarra bridge, which we pray to Allah to prevent them from doing that, as experts said will lead to a disaster which is causing the sinking of entire regions.
HAQ Agency has published before a news that said the occupation forces, from time to time, close the Samarra bridge pretext on existing of a VBIED on the dam and the experts confirmed that several VBIEDs (exploded cars) can not demolish the dam, unless they place explosions on its foundations, and The detonation of the dam will lead to the sinking of Baghdad.
Source of Dam security confirmed that American army divers constantly dive underneath.
