You couldn't just write a few words to tell people what all that gibberish means?

Not by a long bloody shot!!!!

What road
What city
What state

If you are going to report something, you have to try to answer the 5 Ws ..... Who What When Where Why.
Otherwise you are just sticking up a bunch of words that mean the square root of sweet diddly squat!
Rant over.

Why did you feel you needed to "dumb it down?" Do you think other members of Trainorders are idiots?

You really do seem to like being snarky, don't you!

This story, limited in the necessary details, (I won't enter that debate), apparently wasn't that big of an item. I attempted to research the CHP Website and the Victorville Daily Press website for any further information, and could not find any. Apparently the aforementioned "accident" wasn't that newsworthy or there were no injuries or significant damages. As an added note, where does the BNSF cross over a highway or road in the Victorville area? It has been a number of years since I last lived in Victorville, and the only possible locations that I can think of where the BNSF crosses over a roadway might be out on the Cushenberry Branch in Lucerne Valley or the limited clearance bridge near the Oro Grande Cement Plant.  I welcome any corrections to my senior memory.

The National Trails Highway aka US 66 crosses under the tracks just east of the cement plant in Oro Grande.

Translated:  "REAL railfans would know from the gitgo exactly what i'm talking about- and/or be able to read my mind!"

reminds me of the old story about a train wreck report

Wow, you've become a rather testy lot as of late.

Sorry, I'll translate for you - Jeez, what a pissy bunch!

I expect that once the rules of railroadyfan posting decorum are spelled out, those of us not taking it seriously enough will do better.

Or not...
