<b>Text 1:</b> <br><br>While railroad crossings expose pedestrian and vehicle traffic to trains directly, there are always warning lights and barricades to alert people to the train's approach. It is for this reason that level crossings might be less dangerous than breaks or gaps in the fence.<br><br><br>

The gate is locked and not easy to get through, as well the close proximity to an easy, legal crossing area means that it might be easier to walk to De Courcelle than try to climb the fence.

<b>Text 1:</b> <br><br>There is a small hole in the fence where Charlebois joins Sainte-Marquerite. I saw this often when looking at fences near overpasses. If someone wanted to walk along Sainte-Marguerite, rather than going around the fence (which stretches in the opposite direction), it is faster to go through the fence and cross the tracks.<br><br>
|

There are a set of concrete stairs leading from the street down to the sidewalk that crosses the underpass. On the opposite side of the street however, there was nothing but a steep, muddy incline.
