I hope this link will take you to a pic of the TN Department of Transportation billboard to which Chris made reference. Make special note of the way the Railroad Crossing sign is standing and its appearance as a cross. I think this is very telling about the "red" state of TN and the Bible Belt, in general. As a self-proclaimed train freak and childhood train hopper, this hits close to home for me in a lot of ways.
In the West, we see a lot of makeshift crosses put up on the side of the road where people have died in auto accidents -- sometimes decorated with flowers or other tributes. Do they do that here?
