Then you said they didn't want your corn but they wanted what was in your wallet AFTER you've unloaded it, which led me to believe whoever you were dropping the load off to might give you some form of payment that would make you a more attractive target for burglary.
The whole thing just made me wonder so I was asking legitimate questions..
Based on what you told us, it doesn't seem like you were in danger of being robbed. If so, why would they park their car off 100 feet from you? Don't you think they'd realize how suspicious a couple dudes sprinting up on your rear would come across? You also said you were already waiting at the tracks along with another car yet they didn't make a move on you- why? You and the guy in the other car were sitting ducks. |
Its hard to describe how that went down... there were two different sets of tracks about 100 feet apart, the front set were blocked on either side by a raised platform/hill.
You could only see how much train was coming by through that, maybe 25 foot throughway, except for looking to the left when you're right up on the tracks, then you could see maybe 50 foot of train about 100 feet down the way.
So the guy I was following and myself are at the forward set of tracks, waiting for a huuuge train going 10mph to go by. We'd been there 10-15 minutes when we notice a car pull up and stop behind the second set of tracks 100 feet behind us (all the better to not get caught up in some bs, keep the getaway car free).
I see the back doors on this car open up and two guys start to emerge, but they hadn't taken two steps forward before the train passed.
There was no way, from where they were, to see how much train was left, they figured we were stuck... and we only had about a 5 second preview even though we were much further forward.
Long story short, they couldn't see the end of the train until about 5 seconds after we could... yet as soon as that train passed in clear view of everyone, those two ran back to their car, it did a U turn and they were gone.
If they were just some joes waiting for a train like us, why didn't they follow us on out? The guy ahead of me has been a driver for 50+ years and he knew exactly what was about to go down, he'd have known it no matter what color the people getting out of the car were.
Its tough to explain just how strange and congested it is down in there, but you'll just have to take my word for it... you know the scene in King of New York where Snipes is chasing Fishburne through that hellhole underneath bridges and down in the meat of the city?
This truck route is just EXACTLY that for about 6-8 blocks, its a spooky mfer and I don't care WHAT color you are.
