I live by the Plant City diamond. Have NEVER seen this happen. Dude traveled 300 feet down the tracks from a large crossing with plenty of signage. Told the cops while i was watching the stream, "I thought it was just one of those cobble stone roads around here." He had out of state tags too which is common around here this time of year. Lots of "snow birds".

(4:58) - I saw that heritage unit pass through Sterling, Ohio, on the CSX New Castle Sub at about 11:45AM that same day (February 1st). It was leading eastbound M370, running from Chicago (Clearing Yard) to Cumberland, Maryland. Surprisingly, the 1827 came back through Sterling just three days later (February 4th), and this time, it was leading M369 (the westbound counterpart to M370). When you're lucky, you're lucky.
