I’m guessing out by Blue Bayou since it’s the only one I know

Does highland cross tracks more than once? I can only think of the crossing near blue bayou.

Just north of I-10. I think that's the only crossing.

Train vs car or train derailment?

Looks like 1 or 2 vehicles struck by the train. Train is at a stop.

Ambulance and fire trucks were here but left so doesn’t look like anyone was injured.

Edit: looks like 1 truck was stopped on the tracks (probably from traffic) when they train was coming and got hit/bumped sideways.

Dunno yet. I’ll update once I can search the news sites

I did see some CN response vehicles but that could be standard protocol

When did this happen? I crossed at 7:30 and it was smooth sailing.

Weren't they going to close one of those highways out there anyway for construction for two days starting today? It sounds like the perfect mess.
