Those two hombres in the dump truck are probably toast. No Habla again!
commuter train?
I dont think so
CA is the abbreviation for California, Karl.
Amtrak with several hundred on board....
Not a good week for Amtrak (or dump trucks)
¡Que fubar!
The tracks have been there since 1906, yet they will blame the train. There are a lot of accidents in this area, because of private crossing with no crossing arms....The migrant farm workers tend not to Stop Look and Listen, and every once in a while they get creamed.
Crossings are the responsibility of the cities or private property owners (for liability reasons), so they are reluctant to put them in. This crossing has a stop sign, and big signs in English and Spanish to stop and look for trains.
Me neither, had I caused mayhem while under the influence.
