Sorry, zip. I'll make sure never to bring it up again; and, yes, crack is a wonderfully pure form of coke--but I prefer super-cool.

Yeah, it looks like the guy didn't consider what his ass-end was doing. That is a strange and dangerous stop because it allows for just two normal sized cars to stop at the light just past the tracks and frequently cars will unexpectedly get stuck on the tracks when the light changes--particularly when someone is gutless and slams on the break instead of going through the intersection. And so you get stuck with your ass hanging over the tracks praying a train doesn't come because you have nowhere to go. I can't imagine what I'd do if I was driving a rig and that happened. Yikes!

Yep, the truck driver needs to be held accountable. NEVER EVER block RR tracks.

The truck driver must've had his head up his ass...how else could a train sneak up on him?

whichever whatever

Zippy - a lot of venom for the bicycle equipped menace who was involved in that incident, root cause being Caltrain's poor customer service. Where's your venom for this truck equipped menace who disobeyed a "KEEP CLEAR" sign and drove his semi onto the tracks in front of a train, endangering 100's of people and delaying 1000's of people far more than said cyclist?

Dang, it wasn't an armored truck full of money? I need one of those huge HDTVs!

glad no one was hurt. The Broadway station isn't in use much anymore so at least there were no waiting passengers on the platform.

Smoke crack much? The bicycle equipped menace got himself arrested. Sorry, A-rrested. And it had nothing to do with a CT engineer. The troll on the bicycle disobeyed a CT conductor. Disobeying the conductor is grounds for ejection. End of story.

Hmm...Wonder if it was the same driver what got that poor bicycle-rider A-rrested.
