Oh my gosh! I never knew that you shouldn't cross the tracks even when the train is stopped, I'm trespassing, and I could possibly become part of the Darwin awards! I never knew how dangerous doing so is! I'm going to tell my friends not to! My friends will be shocked to hear this!
Unfortunately the railroad crossing is what gives the rules even when a train is stopped. Don’t worry about it though as you won’t get in much trouble. It is true though, when the gates are down, the law states it at trespassing when you cross and could get a $500 fine. This almost NEVER happens though as police don’t care much. So don’t worry!
@@timectrl yes that is the case. Of course people may cross and not hear the other train coming so that’s why you should not cross either way, even if you know that there is not another train coming. Lucky for some places like Elmhurst, they have had problems with this in the past and now they have the danger another train coming signs.
It’s just the law, no matter if the train is stopped. They don’t want people crossing because there may be a fast train next to it you can’t see. The only way they can stop people from crossing while the gates are down is just to make it a law.
Next video: bnsf fakebonnet in Lagrange
The engineer taught him a lesson. Either be late and ruin your rate or meet your fate and cause a wait. Can't believe these people exist.
Yep your right. People need to be more patient as they aren’t aware of the danger around them
If I'm ever in Chicago, imma ride the L and Metra
LOL FUNNY😅😅😅😅😅🤣
😁
Very cool haha, this is OLD footage haha
Normally the engineers could care less clearly not this engineer
Yea, was thinking that it was a accident but I have seen a inbound do the same thing before so maybe the same engineer or something
@@staintedcards they might have had track work going on, although this was filmed near a month ago
then he called metra and cried he blew the horn for at him and tried to get him fired metra told him shut the ????? up lol

THAT WAS SO FUNNY 😂 😂 😂 LOL

@@ElmhurstRailfanning Well, that train is not the problem. An overtaking express train on another track.

Inbound trains should at least have the cab car past the crossing before stopping instead of short of the crossing.
that’s not tresspassing he has a free way of going
It’s considered trespassing when the railroad gates are down
@@ElmhurstRailfanning but he was stopped

@@ElmhurstRailfanning well people still do it
@@kralikz4839 yep, nothing much we can do about it. The engineers task seemed to work though, maybe they can do it more often haha
