I loved seeing all three trains at Paradise, PA but most especially dear old 89; the Auto Train was very cool, and that CSX engine wearing greenery should know that Easter is over lol! Enjoyed watching them moving the caboose (nice cam workaround) and getting ready to replace old ties, and of course the goings-on at the Burlington Bridge--hooray! Hope Dad and Doc are enjoying their road trip and saw some good trains in Utah. This one is just packed--great work Joe and gang!

Not sure if this has ever been discussed. But the volume of auto collisions at La Grange that we see here clearly have nothing to do with the Railroad tracks. It is the lack of respect for the stop signs (as was pointed out here). Would a traffic light be better? There is a lot of traffic through that intersection - plus, it could go to flashing red when the trains come.
