Train hits plastic bin near Ashby Station, Berkeley CA
A train ran over a green plastic recycling bin located between mileposts 3.0 and 3.2 near Ashby Station in Berkeley. The bin split into two pieces but was positioned between the tracks in a way that appeared safe for automated train operation. Train operators confirmed the debris did not obstruct the tracks, and trains were allowed to proceed with caution.

The R2 track, yeah, it was a recycling bin one of the green ones. It looks to be a split in half in between the running wells.
