*BNSF 9828* // BNSF 9253 // Private Railroad Crossing, Ashland, NE 3/16/24

I discovered on google maps that there was this hidden crossing nearby to a small BN caboose and boxcar in the middle of nowhere, Nebraska. I went to check out this crossing 15 years after google maps got a snapshot of it and found this here! I was lucky enough to hear a train coming and I got this video for you to watch now!

This is the first time in a while that I’ve actually made a description for a video. Whoops.

(Fun fact: cars vs trains is not abandoned)
