This is National Rail Safety Week. Never try to beat a train to a road crossing. The weight of a locomotive to your car = that of a car to a soda can.

California HazMat Tax on Railroads Blocked
“A federal judge has blocked a California law that would tax trains — but not trucks — that carry hazardous materials, to pay for training and emergency responses to accidents involving the dangerous substances.”
“U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg on Friday granted BNSF and Union Pacific Railways’ request for a preliminary injunction, finding the railroads likely to succeed on the merits of some of their arguments.”
