@Phosphenes@mastodon.social They’re on a siding waiting for the train coming from the opposite direction to pass so they can move again to get out of the flames. Not all rail lines are double tracked. @flyhigh@universeodon.com @dbattistella@mstdn.ca

@Phosphenes@mastodon.social @flyhigh@universeodon.com @dbattistella@mstdn.ca They don't have a choice. They are on a siding. If they get on the main line, they will cause a crash. So they are stuck - filming - while waiting for the oncoming train to get by so they can get out of there.

@flyhigh@universeodon.com Yeah, I was replying to a reply to you, sorry. Someone seemed to think they didn't move because they wanted to film or something. Considering that you used to work for a railroad, I figured you understood the situation all too well.

@Phosphenes@mastodon.social @flyhigh@universeodon.com They're not willfully 'staying'. They're on a siding, and have to wait for the other train to pass.
