I went out to get a few photos of this crossing, and never expected a train. I got more than a train though, as the video will tell the rest!

  • I'll bet those people sitting in between the trains were pissed!!

  • I'm sure they were... :)

  • They never take care of the tracks down there, so expect de-railments to happen often there

  • I know, the tracks are very bad. Need a total overhaul.

  • What was the cause?

    Wish you had gotten close.

    Don't trespass, but you can get much closer legally staying on the sidewalk.

    Interesting to see the STOP ON RED SIGNAL sign.

    Did you get video of them rerailing the derailed cars?

  • The rails have sunk below the cement...and one of the wheels must of gotten caught on it or something. I didn't get too close...because I didn't want to be annoying. There were alot of people out there...including the manager or owner of the paint factory...and I didn't want them to get angry with me for recording... :) I didn't get a video of them putting it back on the tracks either. It was at least 45 mins to an hour before it was fixed.
