Went out to see the train pass through some crossings not too far away.
A few things I will note:
1. This is the first time in a long time that I've seen only a single-engine has traversed the Southern.
2. The crossings seem to be in need of some serious work; sometimes they will flicker on and off as the trains go by, like in this video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOy73bdg-fM, and/or they'll stay on long after the train has passed. The crossing in the video is Asbury Rd, right next to Extech.
3. I saw a car run the crossing, with the train only feet away from hitting it as it sped through. If the max speed on this line was a bit higher, you'd see some serious accidents around here.
