In the snow today there was not one car but two just stuck in traffic sitting on the tracks. No place to go, probably a foot between bumpers, snowy everywhere. Traffic was completely stopped.

People never learn. It is too bad the police were busy with more important things but I would sure love to see those folks ticketed.

Where are the railroad police on this one?
