I forgot what year. Yessir, the front of the train derailed and struck the station and this happened in late 2010. I remember there was a derailment in the state street subway involving cars #5713-14. #5714 was leaning a little bit lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are just impatient, and often times also self-centered. How many times have you seen a car speed up and/or cut you off at a light just to stop at the next red? Or people going around to turn right in front of the bus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True it’s not like a freight train where u have to sit for a little bit or turn back around carefully. But letting a CTA train pass will only last a few seconds people are just impatient. If they wanna go somewhere there is your place to go in a scene so it can be on the news? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting for a CTA train to pass is nothing. You are insanely impatient if you can't wait for one of those to pass. My life is more important. I might not like Waiting for a freight train, but I know I will eventually get where I am going if I wait. If the freight train stops, i just have to reroute. Tje thing about freight tracks is you never know what is on another track. You see a slow moving or stopped freight train, not realizing it could be masking a fast moving Amtrak, Metra, or faster moving freight train. I pray ? that God never allows me to ride with a stupid person who is willing to gamble with my life trying to beat a train. I've only gone around lowered gates when it was clear that the gates were malfunctioning and there was no train in sight. Or if there was a train, it was sitting for a period of time and I determined that train was on the outermost track and nothing was coming from the opposite direction. Thode are reasoned patiently calculated decisions and not a spur of the moment im in a rush decision.. the old adage says Stop. Liok. Listen. Live. I'd rather wait than to be dead wrong.

Even if I am running late railroad crossings will stop me and unfortunately I might miss the bus I wanted. Safety and patience is much more important than getting buses you want or when you need to be somewhere.
