The Train That Never Came

I'm on my way to work, driving down the road at 6 am, when I notice the train rails are down and the lights are flashing. I always have the most perfect timing. I go up, stop at the arms, and wait. I wait a minute, and no train goes by. I wait another 2 minutes, and still no train. I am the first car in line and 2 cars pull up behind me. Where is this frickin train? I wait another 5 minutes. Still no train! I have no clue what to do. Is the train signal just stuck or is there a train 5 miles down the road? I'm going to be late to work if I wait any longer! So, I get out of my car and signal to all the other cars that we need to back up and find another way around. The last car in line comes up beside my car and asks how long until the train goes by. Seriously? I'm like, I've been waiting here nearly 10 minutes now and no train has gone by so I have no freakin clue. He asks if I know another way around, which I reply no, but I ask him where he's headed. He's going in the same direction as me so I just told a complete stranger to follow me. What else was a suppose to do? Well, I finally made it to work, but I am still dumb founded about what the hell was going on with this train that never came. Hmm.
