So earlier this week I was heading home and had to walk past some train tracks. Well once of those really long trains went through. I know at this train crossing there are only two operable tracks the other 4 are all broken up and not used. In addition there is a huge gap between some of the tracks. So I was a good 20 feet from the live tracks and after the train cleared the intersection I watched as it was still speeding away and looked the other way too and then crossed the two live tracks. It was about 15 seconds after I had cleared the tracks that a police car came rolling in right behind me so I could get a verbal warning to wait behind the gates in future. I was polite and all but come on. I maintained a safe distance at all times and the gate came down after I had passed it. I guess I'm just a rebel. ;)
Thanks to everyone that left a phone number. If you haven't yet and would like to do so check my previous post.
