    Some of these towns with rails in the middle of them could be confusing for someone who doesn't know the traffic pattern. It was raining and at night, so can understand why she couldn't see the turn properly. The first time I saw La Grange on here, I couldn't believe it. That place is a nightmare too. I am someone with anxiety while driving, so God help me if I ever visit either of these places in my life. LOL Maybe I'll be featured here someday. 😂🤣

    Maybe they need to take that same suggestion and put some crossing arms across so that they block the rails at the Ashland intersection (amongst others :) ). These arms would go up to let the trains thru as the at-grade arms go down to tell drivers to let the train thru the intersection.
    But what do I know... {shrug}

    1:40 long-hood-forward AC44CW
    1:48 nice to see steam locomotive 89 out and about on Strasburg's tracks again
    2:42 grinding the banked curved at Paradise
    6:05 you guys have a drone? That's a lot of videos to look forward to!
    6:19 very unusual to see this happen on Strasburg in the 21st century. I thought such practices were not allowed unless in a controlled hump yard
    6:40 CN and Ferromex doubleheading
    6:50 does anyone know how long FREDs are used for? They don't have axles or brakes to wear down or suffer from stress under loads, but the technology in them could've easily evolved to warrant the retirement of older ones
    7:50 a very impressive sight on the Mississippi River
    8:10 a small rail grinder grinding the switch
    9:16 two GE locomotives with two inspection cars
    9:26 the perfect day to see this locomotive!
    9:38 and Amtrak 642
    10:13 a KCS local taking the long way round Kansas city to the Union Pacific Armourdale Yard
    10:28 UP 1988 in Pennsylvania
    11:06 CP and KCS doubleheading in Canada! I guess this is to promote the merger
    12:44 a police car drove by and didn't notice something was wrong!
    17:08 an FEC GEVO doubleheading with an SD40-2 without an LNG fuel tender. All of FEC's GEVOs are the first regular service fleet of LNG-powered locomotives

      It is actually rather poorly lit, considering it is the largest intersection in "town" and with a new traffic pattern from one side (add in the thousands of drivers that probably should not be driving anymore) and they really need to do something to make the turns more clear.
