Not too bright
Title:  Not too bright
Description:  I was sitting at the Kenwood St crossing in Siloam Springs, waiting for the dodger to back up and clear the crossing, when these three teens came up the street, passing me. I knew they would either have to wait, or somehow get across the train. They didnt seem to be slowing down any, and the reason why was soon evident. They just went right through. The one kid climbed up on the couplers between two cars, while the others went underneath. Good way to get killed.

Hoping and praying
Title:  Hoping and praying
Description:  The kid at left is now up on the couplers, while the other two are going under. The kid between the cars better be praying the engineer doesnt get the word from the ground squirrel to shove back.

Look like theyll make it
Title:  Look like theyll make it
Description:  The trio is now mostly across the train, but it was just sheer luck none of them got injured. That job does a lot of car spotting in the Pipelife plant, and often moves a car length at a time, and theres a lot of slack action.

Just keep walking
Title:  Just keep walking
Description:  I was out chasing, having caught a northbound earlier, which I followed to Noel, where he met this southbound grain move. I chased it home to Siloam. My last shot was from the Lincoln Street crossing, a tele shot to get the train coming through the sag just to the north. The gates went down, and this gent didnt even break stride as he crossed in front of the train.

Scooters too
Title:  Scooters too
Description:  As if this were some kind of "disregard the crossing gates" show, just after the man who walked across the tracks cleared, this guy on a scooter came rolling through, not even slowing down to look, despite the gates being fully lowered.
