Also from the same thread:
For people who aren't intimately knowledgeable about the Seattle rail system, the Mt Baker station is an elevated platform. Meaning she had to have driven the WRONG WAY on a railroad about 40 feet up in the air for SEVERAL MILES to end up here.
Edit: it looks like it was not "several miles" but less then one mile; a notable feat anyway:

I work for an MTA. This sort of thing happens all the time. People are crazy 🤣🤣🤣

Car traps are good, but still close up the line. In this case though maybe the car would be recoverable. Now they need a crane.

So the cars are able to fit through the entrance?
OhmsLawn@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 64d
Yes. When the light rail vehicle enters the tunnel from the street, it's at the same grade as the traffic. All a car has to do is ignore signs and bumps, etc. Pretty sure they're usually blind drunk.

She should prominently lose her license for this but this is America where that doesn't even happen if you kill people.
GreenKnight23@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 73d
this is Utah. A hotbed of the dumbest most religiously conservative Americans. I would put Utah a degree below Florida on the dumbass scale.
FYI Utah is home of the church of the LDS cult, aka Mormons. it has some of the most fucked up child abuse documented in the country (and that's what's actually documented).

One you are objectively wrong look up the station name, two if the FLDS and the LDS are the same then the black hebrew israelites are israelies
GreenKnight23@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 73d
my mistake, it's Seattle.
but that car (and presumably the driver) is from Utah....the incorrigible cesspool of pedophiles and charlatans.
msfroh@lemmy.ca · 12 pts · 73d
Or it's a rental car. I rented a car in the Seattle area with Nevada plates a couple of weeks ago.
I get the impression that rental car companies register cars in states with lower tab fees and then move them around the country. I wouldn't be surprised if registering in Utah is a lot cheaper than Washington.

This is an Utah driver in Seattle. How the hell did they get lost all the way up here??
GreenKnight23@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 72d
probably on their way to bricks and minifigs and got lost after they stole $200k.
mojofrododojo@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 73d
yeah driving up a 3 story tall incline (it's a very elevated station) should be grounds for repossessing their license.
rslogix89@lemmy.world · 25 pts · 73d
They’re just waiting for the train to push them into 1885.
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 73d
There were much better ways to do that, that Doc Brown would have known.....
orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 24 pts · 74d
That's just baffling. I know our light rails, take it to Seatac whenever I travel. How the everliving fuck did that happen?
Zombiepirate@lemmy.world · 41 pts · 74d
Looking at the station makes it even crazier:
atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works · 21 pts · 73d
Is there a right way to drive several miles on an elevated train track?
jaybone@lemmy.zip · 19 pts · 73d
In a train.
lgsp@feddit.it · 7 pts · 73d
I guess that it means that train direction on that track was opposite... I don't think this makes this episode any worse 🤷♂️

More like a quarter of a mile

Ffs this is in Seattle, mormons might be dumb but even they don't deserve to catch strays like this.

Utah plates though

driver is from utah, not here. don't blame us for her crazy shit.

To be honest, I was talking much wider than the state of Washington.

No, but the amount of dumb coming from that part of the world is staggering.

You're supposed to take the tires off so the rails go in the grooves of the rim.

What kind of test do you guys have to pass for a drivers license???
guynamedzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 72d
Well, during our tests, we never have to go past railroad tracks! How can we be expected to just know that we’re not supposed to turn into them?
paranoia@feddit.dk · 8 pts · 73d
Idk about several miles, looks like a few hundred meters on a map.
disregardable@lemmy.zip · 6 pts · 73d
Has to be sleep-walking, drug use, or schizo-affective. I don’t see how else this happens to someone with a functioning mind.
jjlinux@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 73d
Could be all 3 🤔
OopsOverbombing@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 72d
Or just a Utah driver... but according to her it was GPS that led her astray
benderbeerman@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 73d
Clearly, you can. But while you're busy wondering if you can, don't forget to stop and ask yourself if you should
HubertManne@piefed.social · 4 pts · 73d
You know I could not imagine how this could happen but then I recall in my city on one line there is road level crossings twice near the end of the line. Actually there might be another line that has something similar that Im not sure if I have ever been on. That one is like a spur line that expands off the end of the line of one of the more major lines.
JoMiran@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 74d
Ah...Utah.
Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz · 2 pts · 73d
What? This is seattle, out light rail stations look nothing like this and none of them are elevated.
JoMiran@lemmy.ml · 6 pts · 73d
The driver, or at least the plates, are from Utah.
kungen@feddit.nu · 6 pts · 73d

I zoomed in on the sign to see if this could be in Phoenix, as if there weren't trees precluding that possibility.

The transit authorities had to call for backup from the fashion police.
