Google lens indicates he is pushing the switch that de-activates the warning signals. Just wondering but, wouldn't you think you would deactivate AFTER the train has passed the intersection?!?!? Maybe its a prime reason they went to automatic controls.

Guessing if you're too stupid to see a line up of traffic and a train blocking the intersection that the warning light staying on isn't going to make much difference.... JMO

Aha,,maybe the train is backing up. They do that sometimes, much like some countries....( couldn't help myself )

The trees in these here parts kinda grow straight up with a little tuft at the top, so we're tryin' to create some shade with overhead wires, admittedly it ain't workin' too well.

Overload or maintenance, it does appear like the wheels fell off.

It's even scarier if you can name them all and know the year.

Newest is the 60 Ford, and look at that Rambler.

Interesting...I guess the bodies are rolling along the line to be mated with the chassis, they must coming from the opposite direction and will meet at the plant.
