Local follows the autorack train up the grade         
While we waited for this train to pass, a UP employee stopped on I-80 EB behind us, ran across ALL lanes of the interstate and ran through the weeds to try to kick us out. We were at a private crossing and obtained permission from the owners to take this photo. The UP guy heard us get permission and told us to stay off the tracks and then rack back across ALL the lanes of I-80 to get back in his car!! I've never seen a railroad employee go through that much trouble to try to kick you out of somewhere. Maybe if we were walking up and down the tracks playing chicken with the train or something, but geez, gimmie a break!
