Yeah that dummy in the pick-up didn't feel like waiting for 7 car train on Galloway so he darts down the side street. I don't remember for sure but I think that side street curves back to Kimbrough street, so basically he just whipped a U turn and probably added an extra 5 minutes to his busy schedule instead of waiting a minute for the train to pass. When I lived in Mesquite the trains usually would blow through town at about 45mph. My train spot was out on Scyene at the VFW.

Very Rare. HA I like the dufas that backs up from the crossing and trys to beat the train.  People in such a Hurry to just wait. HA!

[iRECKONER]

Nice since when did they have 3 locos on this bird >?  I've rode it several times with just one ?

@iRECKONER I just got lucky! Very rare to see even two locos on the eagle. Watch the video again, you will see exhaust as all three was online. And a slow order to boot kept him from flying through CPT T204
