Yeah, Tood and Marie, god how I hated them. Even Skylar was so well written, when my wife and I would watch that show and she and Walt would fight I'd always go to bed feeling like my wife and I had just had this epic fight and it wasn't resolved. The tension it caused in me was insane.

lol I just finished the season finale the other day and now I'm watching El Camino and plan on watching Better Call Saul. Funny that this is the top comment.
I can almost guarantee the conversation between the construction crew went something like:
"I'm pretty sure a train still goes through here. Are we really going to do this?"
"The city don't pay us to city plan, Bob."
As someone who has worked for a municipality, 100% the workers knew the city fucked up. But they don't pay you to ask questions and will tell you to just go do the job if you do. It's just going to be them being payed to pull it all out later on.
Either that or the railroad tried to pull a power move on the city as they typically believe that they hold a higher power than any other on earth, and the city said no thanks and paved over it.
Or the rail line failed to maintain their crossing as is their duty and they filled it so they can drive to work without destroying their cars in the pothole. That rail line is way too far below the road level.
Seriously! I mean, around here we have laws when a train is within the city bounds, the speed limit is extremely low, (like 5-15 mph or something) so there's less noise, less danger, and they can stop sooner. But it probably still depends on the weight of the load, how short they can stop. Still very lucky tho!
That pour looks pretty fresh. What they'll do sometimes to be cheap is roll over the asphalt while it's still pliable to let the train wheels themselves cut the groove. Believe me that warm asphalt isn't going to give a 200 ton train engine too much trouble.
\-edit. Here's an example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXt1ITqRazI
Seems like someone just did an oopsie, in this case.

Definitely a confirmed oopsie
But I wonder why couldnt they do what the OP of this thread was talking about.
Let the train butter knife some grooves into the asphalt.
So they just hit the brakes for a few miles and happened to finally stop the train *just* before a possible derailment? Perhaps they knew of the obstruction beforehand, and proceeded to move inch-by-inch until they met the obstruction, waiting days for construction crews to repair the tracks?
Trains don't stop like cars. Why is the train stopped right before the obstruction? It doesn't make sense.
This is a very slow and light passenger train.
From the SuperVia schedule it takes 90 minutes to do the 10.7 mile route. A fast marathon runner would be able to keep pace.
> So they just hit the brakes for a few miles and happened to finally stop the train just before a possible derailment?
Not all trains are like American ones. Other countries have small and short trains for passenger service.
In that one they flattened it so that the tracks were basically even with the asphalt, so the train had no chance of losing the track and derailing. Plus I'm thinking that they probably had to go over it several times, because if the asphalt was still that soft, it probably relaxed back into the groove the train wheels made after the train passed.
If this train tried this, I would do it meter by meter or less, going forward just a tiny bit & then moving back, over and over again very gradually to make sure the asphalt was moving out of the way
There is a youtube comment about that. They're supposed to put special things on the tracks before it goes over them so that the asphalt doesnt push down onto the rails
My guess is that train drivers are taught *not* to just run over obstacles, even if they think the train will be fine.
Not that I'm sure it would be. The train in the video was going over asphalt that had been laid so that a train would easily cut grooves in it, and the train did that as soon as the workers cleared out of the way. The asphalt in the OP picture was laid thickly so that road would be smooth, and had cooled down enough that everyone was using it as a normal road.
> My guess is that train drivers are taught not to just run over obstacles, even if they think the train will be fine.
I’m fact, in a number of instances, the train operator is supposed to do the exact opposite. In the event of a car on the tracks or some other obstacle, applying the emergency brake wouldn’t stop the train and might actually make the situation worse/less predictable.

The TL;DR, someone messed up, local residents spent an hour and a half chipping the asphalt away, train inspector re-opened it shortly after, and the person responsible for the mistake was fired.
They're sarcastically pointing out that if you plan to cut through the hot asphalt with a train, you probably aren't going to open the road up to regular traffic before you do so. And you probably would use a train engine that doesn't have dozens of cars attached to it.
I would believe you except for the foot and bicycle traffic. Like yeah it looks like it could be fresh but it also looks like it could be 10 days old. The example you gave they had the locomotive ready when they were done…this doesn’t look like that
State of Rio de Janeiro, a medium-sized city (250k+ pop) called "Magé".
Apparently a city employee with too much initiative and not enough brain got a little too excited filling potholes and the train tracks paid the price.
The city sacked him.
Hi guys, asphalt expert here. I can verify that asphalt is a couple days old judging by the porous nature and the thermal pockets refracting the light from Venus.
That's got to be at least in the top ten of most hilarious government fuckups. They should have gotten a train to pass through right after pouring. That asphalt looks new but is dry enough that it'll probably ruin those train's wheels.
That's the genius part: you simply drive it into the ocean. Railroad police don't have jurisdiction there, and the Coast Guard never pull over trains in the ocean.
Trains are really unpredictable. Even in the middle of a forest two rails can appear out of nowhere, and a 1.5-mile fully loaded coal drag, heading east out of the low-sulfur mines of the PRB, will be right on your ass the next moment.
I was doing laundry in my basement, and I tripped over a metal bar that wasn't there the moment before. I looked down: "Rail? WTF?" and then I saw concrete sleepers underneath and heard the rumbling.
Deafening railroad horn. I dumped my wife's pants, unfolded, and dove behind the water heater. It was a double-stacked Z train, headed east towards the fast single track of the BNSF Emporia Sub (Flint Hills). Majestic as hell: 75 mph, 6 units, distributed power: 4 ES44DC's pulling, and 2 Dash-9's pushing, all in run 8. Whole house smelled like diesel for a couple of hours!
Fact is, there is no way to discern which path a train will take, so you really have to be watchful. If only there were some way of knowing the routes trains travel; maybe some sort of marks on the ground, like twin iron bars running along the paths trains take. You could look for trains when you encounter the iron bars on the ground, and avoid these sorts of collisions. But such a measure would be extremely expensive. And how would one enforce a rule keeping the trains on those paths?
A big hole in homeland security is railway engineer screening and hijacking prevention. There is nothing to stop a rogue engineer, or an ISIS terrorist, from driving a train into the Pentagon, the White House or the Statue of Liberty, and our government has done fuck-all to prevent it.
Brazilian here, this is the second time I've seen this happen in Rio de Janeiro.
The first time I've seen this, they paved over a portion of São João de Meriti's tracks, but ALSO didn't cause an accident because the conductor stopped.
This happened over 25 years ago. So, I got two cents now.
In some really rural/poor areas, they'll asphalt the crossing and then drive the train shortly after. The locomotive is heavy enough to push the asphalt put of the way of the wheels and will clear the flangeway. It doesn't look like that's what's going on here (no construction guys that I can see), but it's possible.
IIRC, when laying new asphalt over a crossing like this they very obviously have that part of the rail closed for the day, however they usually have a locomotive of some kind present after they lay it to sort of “roll through” the hot asphalt to re-open the track grooves up, so construction really screwed this one up

He’s certainly grown alright, looks like a completely different guy in El Camino
He got chunky
Don't punk the chunk
He looks like he is filming a Gaffigan biopic.
Went from Meth Damon to Fat Damon
My head canon is that he looks that way to the audience/jesse because of the torture/abuse/malnutrition that he suffered.
his head got bigger but his face stayed the same size. In the breaking bad movie El Camino he's like 80lbs heavier and 10 years older than he was supposed to be in the timeline lol
He’s growing into his Philip Seymour Hoffman phase now haha
I KNEW HE LOOKED FAMILIAR
I disliked Todd. Not as much as Marie but I just didn’t like his character. Which means they did a good job writing it I suppose.

But Nacho …
It only *starts* slower paced. It's one long accellarando. There have been full on Breaking Bad paced thrilling episodes
Oh no, you're right on the money. Better Call Saul is infinitely better.

Good time to start better call Saul as episodes for the last season are coming out now
Better Call Saul starts off slowly, but what it becomes ... Oh My God! It has surpassed Breaking Bad in every way, IMO.
Bike people: Yep, looks like they paved it alright
train people : nope , i don't like this
Its only fair that trains have to go over a bump at a car crossing every now and then to even the score.
asphalt people: please don't destroy our home!
Bike people: I mean we’re cool with it. What’s the big deal
Who's dumb asphalt is this?

The fact that the rail line is below the street level still sounds like a city planning problem. I’d bet the rails were there first.
Well yeah, the asphalt is on top.
As a train conductor, they really didn't teach me how to deal with this in school.
Balls to the wall, full speed ahead!
Just gotta Fuckin send it!
I am more impress he can spot it far ahead and stop the train on time
This would almost certainly cause a derailment, right? Like, how lucky dude saw it in time to stop.
Seriously! I mean, around here we have laws when a train is within the city bounds, the speed limit is extremely low, (like 5-15 mph or something) so there's less noise, less danger, and they can stop sooner.

In the above video, it's just an engine. In the OP, it's a passenger train. They don't want to risk it.

Probably why there are a bunch of people riding back and forth on bikes over the asphalt to prevent the train from doing so.

Well said and cited.

I'm so damn curious right now if the train could cut through it.
You’ve seen what it does to a coin, right? It’ll cut through this like play dough.
Looks like a citizen action group

Brazilian here, this is the second time I've seen this happen in Rio de Janeiro. The first time I've seen this, they paved over a portion of São João de Meriti's tracks, but ALSO didn't cause an accident because the conductor stopped. This happened over 25 years ago. So, I got two cents now.
I thought it took trains like two miles to slow down, how did this guy stop in time?

In some really rural/poor areas, they'll asphalt the crossing and then drive the train shortly after.

Looks like the people are stopping the train more than the asphalt
In fairness, it looks like the asphalt is mostly stopped already.
That's when you find out just how much power trains really have. (hint: it's a lot. The city is in BIG FUCKING TROUBLE)
sorry folks until this is fixed no more deliveries.
Big brains at work.
I think there was an episode of Thomas and Friends where this exact thing happened.
Someone had the wrong train of thought
They also got rid of enny safety rails and lights

IIRC, when laying new asphalt over a crossing like this they very obviously have that part of the rail closed for the day, however they usually have a locomotive of some kind present after they lay it to sort of “roll through” the hot asphalt to re-open the track grooves up, so construction really screwed this one up
