OMG! That's very long! 4.5 miles long, dang!
 
I feel sorry for those who are stuck at the railroad crossing. :Ohno:
 
:zzz: that's what I will do in my car
 
id probably swearing my heads off then settle down, then get puzzled, then worried, i mean why are they 'deported' all those cargos, must be Desperate or even emergency orders, so Id probably get so paranoid thinking just maybe WW3 has started....
 
not that bad, 8 mins long, i'd thought it would be like 1/2 hour , just imagine waiting that long... but 8 mins ok pretty bad compared to 20 seconds, or 45 seconds for long trains, just multiply is by 8.5 ...lol...good find calvin

At least, the train didn't stop for anything. ;)

There have been times when I would have to stop at a railroad crossing and the train stops because there was a problem. I can't turn around because I'm in traffic and there are cars around me.

Once, I saw a couple guys get out of their van (while in traffic at the railroad crossing where a train stopped) and went to a nearby Jack in the Box. Ten minutes later, they came back outside with their lunch and got back in the van. ;)
 
Wow, that's very long one. I do feel sorry for those who are stuck at the railroad crossing.
