These pictures were taken inside of the car, when they were approached by suspicious people a total of 8 times during the short amount of time they were here. Needless to say that this is an extremely dangerous area. It is ADVISED that no one try to attempt to film here.

 

This area has been plagued with numerous shootings of people at this crossing, even to the point where CSX maintainers find the dead bodies long after they've been shot.

 

The speed limit on this track is only 10 MPH, entering a rail yard, and trains park here quite often, while trying to gain access to the yard.
