On one side is a auto salvage yard (one of those pick your own parts places) that is very busy on Saturdays. We will see some idiot who does not want to get shut out of the auto salvage yard before closing time climb across the couplers of freights switching on the main line or one of the yard leads fairly frequently. I am sure if I keep railfanning here long enough I am bound to see some poor idiotic soul get killed or injured. The train crews yell at them if they see them, but they don't always notice and they can do only so much watching. Eolafan (a.k.a.

If the train had started I would not want to think of what I would have been videoing. Then a few more minutes went by & he returned & did exactly the same thing in the other directions. From my spot to the where the engines stop for the C/change is at least 1/4 to 1/2 mile so there would have been no crew member who would have ever have seen him. Only cars waiting at the crossing. Also, there was another track south of the one the stacker was on & if a WB was leaving on that track it has already gained some speed & well you know the rest. Understand this all occurred on a public street (I think Wyoming Ave) not RR property.
