Hooray, the snow is almost gone!
Don’t mess with this.
Because it operates these.
And it could lead to this.
Mr. 0.0 will be watching.
Here comes a train, approaching the intersection with Lawrence Street (according to Google Maps). Interesting that there are no barricades or warning lights at this intersection.
As this train approached, a truck with a flatbed trailer, and a car, crossed the tracks in front of it.
There is, however, a sign marking the railroad crossing.
Apparently, the location is marked with these metal plates.
Well, at least we think we know what’s in this railcar.
Looks like lumber’s back.
It was reportedly hard to find at the height of the COVID crisis.
