A very pro-active measure on the part of La Amistad and to be complemented by all of us who use or even consider using this fine hotel.
I provide a very poorly translated version of the article below:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Hotel use 'human signal' to alert the train to pass"
Failing that the State would improve safety at crossings of the railway, a hotelier in Otoya district hired two officers improvised Traffic signals that warn the train coming home
The men dress casual shirts, sport shoes and reflective vests, and carry a homemade sign that reproduce the octagon High.
When the train is approaching, they crossed the street, 100 meters west of the Hospital Calderon Guardia, with signs that say: "Stop the train coming."
The measure allows motorists to stop a few meters from the railway, which already was an accident between a train and a public transport bus, on 1. St September.
That day, the Traffic Police found the bus driver disrespected road signs. The collision wounding seven passengers.
If no train passing vehicles near the back of the signal has another message: "There are vehicles, not beep, please, thanks."
Apparently, this legend claims that the drivers do not check the train whistle in the residential area, where he settled the hotel.
One worker, Miguel Diaz, acknowledged that the idea of the owners of Hotel La Amistad.
It is unknown how long work at the site two traffic officers improvised, how many hours remain in place and how much they receive for such work.
Disagree. When asked, German Marin, director of the Transit Police, said he was not aware of this curious way of warning that the train is approaching.
However, it considered that the measure is inadequate.
"I think he (the owner of the Hotel) can not legally do that because there is no provision to assist him," Marin said.
He said the owner of the property you could describe as a "good citizen", but the measure does not belong.
"For that, there road signs, the whistle of a train, the railway line and clear obligation for drivers to activate the whistle. If no beeps, may be more accidents, "he said. Marvin collaborated Caravaca.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Looks good to me.......

"Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the over-compensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn't nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand."
