It was only complex because they made it complex. You could have walked down the block and accessed the railroad tracks on foot.
Exactly that to make a show out of it, ridiculous. You should’ve called the railroad police. Let them handle it. just like in Ridgewood transit police need to do more. They need to step it up and have more patrols like they do at other locations. You go down to Secaucus Hoboken, Jersey City, Newark the trans police are all over the place you come up here north you don’t even see them. We don’t need Ridgewood police patrol one the railroad now, just like we don’t need them on route 17. Let the State handle that that’s their property.
It’s amazing how much time our local police are on state highways, where is the state police? Route 17 route 208 route 287 constantly saying local police sitting on the highway to write tickets.
