Half an hour on the tracks

A traffic jam in Juarez, Mexico caused a 30 minute delay for those that got stuck before the train passed. As soon as they heard the train, people rushed across to pass the one-way street, La Ferrocarril, that the train intersects. In February 2015, 20 people died in a collision in Northern Mexico, according to the Chicago Tribune. Sometimes cars are still passing when the train is only a few feet away. A security guard tries to control the scene. Some people in the streets find it a good time to perform in front of the stalled cars to earn some spare change. Some people try crossing to the other side while the train is moving. In this picture, the train is stopped and people start crossing to the other side without knowing when the train will start running again.
