La Grange Main Street Rail Crossing - Kentucky, USA

In La Grange, Kentucky, CSX freight trains don't just cross Main Street, they run right down the middle of it, past brick storefronts and parked cars, and this camera watches them squeeze through the heart of town.

Up to 20 trains a day make the trip, and with the street so narrow, cars park on both sides of the tracks while they pass. The line is the old Louisville and Nashville "Short Line", and trains are held to just 10 mph through downtown.

La Grange is the county seat of Oldham County, about 20 minutes from downtown Louisville, and there's even a train observation tower in town where visitors can watch the trains roll by.

Did You Know? La Grange was the only town in Kentucky to be featured on HGTV's "Hometown Kick-Start".
