Union Pacific Street Running through Jack London Square. Oakland, CA

Best street-running video I have seen so far.

What a sight it must be to see a train comming

down a the middle of the street in a business

district of a town/city. AWESOME SIGHT, I'M SURE!!

@superbulldog81 It's actually really annoying. Imagine living here and it 3am and you are fast asleep and an asshole of a train engineer decides to lay on the horn.

Well that "asshole" is just following the rules because the horn signals to people that a train is coming and tells cars and people to get out of the way. If you don't have anything positive to say than don't say anything at all.

[PhilM1971]

@juliussespiritu A few quick horn blasts would be ok. Laying on the horn isn't. At 3am there isn't a lot of traffic. This isn't a car horn which is 110 decibels, it's a train horn 170-210 decibels.

About the positive things to say, shove it up your front butt. Hope that's positive enough for you.

@PhilM1971 I'm sure anyone living in "Oaktown" is used to living with loud noises.

What with all the gunfire and whatnot...

There are sections of Oakland with crime yes, but also multi-million dollar homes, open nature areas etc.

It is indeed quite a sight. Coming from a place where there is no street running at all, being able to film this is quite amazing in itself.
