Is that a Choo choo crossing the road?
Whoah!!! |
Yep, but I can’t see any tracks across the road. I wonder what’s going on with this?
Edited:
Hang on, I can see some tracks off the right hand side of the road. I’d venture to say this pic is taken inside a big rail freight hub and the road is not a public road. There used to be a similar set up with rail tracks (probably not used in 60 or more years) going into what used to be one of the large military stores areas in Sydney.

There's more than a few places here in the UK where rails cross or even run along major roads, with no more than light controls.
IMO anyone getting squished deserves it for failing to pay attention...

It's the real thing: Gisborne NZ.
The Grumman Avenger belongs to the Gisborne Aviation Preservation Society.
I don't actually know much but I'm not bad at Googling.
