also, there are cameras on the train itself.
why not check that stock footage too.
big brother can actually show you i was there.
i caught the train in los angeles union station, at 8 am on track 10b.
i arrived in orange at 8:45am.
had to use the pedestrian underpass to go to the other track to catch my connecting train to riverside.
train 800.
due at the orange station at 9:32am.
while i was waiting, i went to the "omega burger"
a block away on chapman ave.
i order a 1/4 lbs cheeseburger and some ice water.
order #22.
to go.
i ate the burger in a booth by the front window.
i left the omega burger.
i walked back to the depot.
when the train arrived, i ran up to the "utah" car.
i entered the "utah" car.
everyone else, enterd the train elsewhere.
train 800 arrived at the orange depot at 9:31am.
it departed at 9:32am.
right on schedule.
then just a few miles down the track, the train hit and killed the old man.
the conductor got on the p.a. system to tell everyone not to move from where they were, he wasn't permitted to tell us anything, there was an "accide-incident on the track, the train was stopped, and that we would most likely be there for w while."
he had no idea how long.
metrolink will try to provide another means of transportation for you to get to where you are going.
then the long wait, with the occasional update that there was nothing to tell us and he still could not say anything, and had no clue how long we would be sitting there.
after what felt like an eternity, the fire dept. guy came into the "utah" car to check on me, and to see if anyone else was there.
eventually the bus came, but it was on the other side of the street.
then they had the octa bus turn around.
once it had turned around, the conductor came over the p.a. and told everybody to go to the 2nd car, car #137 and the front door of that car, and the front door only, would be opened to let us all out to get on the bus.
as the bus was leaving the scene, we all got a glimpse of all the cops, fire dept, metrolink officials, and all the police tape everywhere.
even the crossing gates had been taped.
i saw a csi person taken photos along the track.
a whole lot of people standing around talking.
once on the bus, an OCTA official guided the bus driver to all the other train stations on the inland empire/orange county line.
also used for the 91 line.
i exited the bus in downtown riverside station.
i caught RTA route 1 from there and went home.
i arrived home at 12:45pm.
i got blindly drunk last night to get over the shock.
i spoke to my mother.
i spoke to my girlfirend.
i spoke to a few friends.
then i unplugged the phone and went to bed.
that didn't seem to help, as i had the worst fucking nightmares.
kwame k, these are the facts.
feel free to check them out.
