Some kind of trouble with the light rail this morning. My shortest route is on the artery parallel to the rail and there are four lights with crossings. The first one, where I go across the rails and turn left onto the artery, went fine. The second one was blinking red (stop sign), the third was fine. The fourth is where I turn left off the artery and cross the rail again into work. The gate started blinking and bonging just as I got to it. I looked at the train sitting in its station not moving about a quarter mile up, and rode around the gates. Seven minutes later at my desk a coworker dropped by to tell me he'd seen me do it. He was stuck in the left turn lane in his car, and a few minutes later he'd run it too, because the train still hadn't moved.
