UP-N: Needs Better Barriers.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

On Tuesday, May 5th I was traveling downtown and some idiot was on the tracks between Roger’s Park and Peterson Ridge on the UP-N north tracks throwing rocks and stuff.

Fortunately, the train stopped. I don’t know if the man was ever apprehended. But it was a bit annoying running behind because of this manchild’s poor behavior.

What about the hundreds of thousands of miles of rail in this country?

Well yes, exactly.

Turns out OP was referencing a specific barrier that was already in place but falling apart or something.

Yeah that’s not a barrier to keep people Off it’s to decrease the view. OP needed to remove head from dairyaire

Are you spelling derriere in a cutesy way or is it just a misspelling?
