Here was the cause- this track is real wavy and speed is limited to 5mph. Hope those Tanks were empty. This train works the Del Monte Cannerey in the summer in Hollister |

The crossing guards were down, creating a traffic jam...not one of the UP crew addressed this fact- no one thought to tie up the crossing arms....until the CHP got there and convinced them to do so..Grrrr |
