Crossing the Tracks

Liz and I spotted this, at our Metra stop this morning. We were trying to figure out the direction of travel, and what might have prompted someone to traverse the tracks with all that snow on the ground.

To me, I got a chuckle imagining someone realizing they were on the wrong platform… and decided to just run directly across, to save time.
