Stuck

It’s been this way for 20 minutes. No trains have come by. I called Norfolk Southern to alert them to the problem and now we are waiting while everyone else including tractor trailers are going around the arms. Which is highly dangerous and stupid and illegal.

I had that happened to me in Miami, Florida in the Medley back in October, the train arms came down and no train ever appeared, so cars and trucks was going around the arm. So, when I got up to the train tracks, I went and called the train company to explain the situation and funny thing 5 minutes after I called, the arms come up and traffic again, if it wasn’t for my call, arms probably would have been down forever. lol!!!

That same shit happened to me friday. Got stuck for over an hour. A guy drove thru the arms, told me they were down for 45 minutes. 20 minutes later a trsin came thru. Then 45 minutes later, the maintenance guy got there. Had a tractor almost take my mirror off goin thru. I ended up takin my 30 while waiting. Lol.

Looks like a good time to crack open the fireball.

It should’ve been opened before the driver even started the truck.

Safety first! Don’t want anyone fumbling with the fireball cap while driving!
