MUCHO RETARDO HOMBRE![C):-)]

Interesting housing trackside…

…What a different world…Some places…!

If not for the language it could be any big city USA. I’ve made deliveries in Chicago that required

parking on industrial sidings.

Obviously a industrial lead being operated at Restricted Speed…being able to stop within 1/2 the range of vision.

That is a real high rent housing community there at 16 seconds!

The engine / engineer sure didn’t have much space remaining until contact with that compressed gas truck…Sure didn’t appear to have much of a safety margin.

Probably a regular thing with them, although the truck driver looked a tad nervous…

…I was surprised to see the truck driver walk out and signal for the train to stop…Just like it was an everyday operation and no problem…stopping the train.

I was going to post this at suppertime, but I ran out of time.

Yup. Reminds me of the illegal parking on the now decommissioned UP (ex-WP) main line through downtown Oakland, CA.
