NS empty hoppers

An NS empty hopper train roars west with a Screaming Demon and a Catfish in charge. I saw this one coming thru Bridge #7 on the highway, and the locomotives were just passing the Chesapeake Energy Center, so we took a detour off of the highway to get it, and just barely beat it. The crossing in the video is private and leads into someone's driveway. Imagine having NS's mainline in your front yard! I think it needs more than just crossbucks and a stop sign, though. Maybe not a whole system, but they should at least have pedestrian gates with flashing gate lights and an electronic bell.
