Jumping choo choo

I had to hop through the choo choo again today. Apparently this is a 5 something train that stops and dumps a load at Recycle America. I'm glad they are participating in the act of recycling, put they block my route home. I think that this train actually blocks three consecutive intersections while it's stopped, so it's a pretty long ride to get around it. It stops for close to 30 minutes as well, although I believe it's a bit different each time, but it's a long wait no matter what. Dependng on what cars actually stop in front of you, it can make hopping through hard or easy. Today luckily it was about as easy a climb over as it could be. I didn't realize how off balance I would be with the bike in one hand and climbing over with my other. Half way up I had to toss the bike onto my shoulder, which is really uncomfortable, and use both hands to pull myself up. Next time, I think it is probably better to just place the bike up on the walkway, and then climb up. I don't mind this whole climbing over the trains thing. It's kind of exhilirating and fun. But - a) it's against the law and b) probably not a really safe thing to do. So, my goal is to find a way around this train or start regularly hitting the crossing either before or after it gets there. I'm smarter than the choo choo.
