I posted a video of it. Not the greatest I've ever gotten. I came around on the mower and saw him coming. Not sure if you will be able to tell from the video or not. The bcol unit didn't have any ditch lights or they were turned off.

Just heard the cn dispatcher talking to a train saying the line is stopped west of bc. Near mp 150 there's a grain bin that has or is about to collapse onto the tracks. So far 3 wb trains stacked up. Anyone have a better idea where that incident might be at? 1200
