While officers waited near this location during "Operation Clear Track," a truck sped up to get past the railroad crossing arms before they dropped as a Metrolink train approached during its morning commute at Doran Street and San Fernando Rd. in Glendale/Los Angeles on Tuesday, Sept. 26, 2017. A press conference for Rail Safety Month was being held nearby. The driver, who did not want to give his name, was given a ticket by an L.A. County Sheriff deputy who was stationed nearby.
