The Highway Story of Herman Shelby and the Crossing
Herman Shelby, longtime farmer and landowner, via habit and routine, drove across a railroad crossing without braking, causing a collision with a train. Witnesses noted his weekly trips to manage farms and tenants, while the crossing seemed to vanish from his perception as part of the landscape. The incident underscores how repeated behavior can erase danger awareness.
