My town's community page had someone post a picture of a bunch of kids walking along the railroad tracks. This ignited a firestorm of criticism of the kids (it's dangerous and stupid) as well as the original poster. Most of the comments about the OP were along the lines of "yeah, but kids will be kids."

By the way, we had one kid killed by a train about 14 years ago. She was walking along the tracks, over a bridge, and had her headphones on. Never heard the train coming from behind.

So, anyhow, today, this happened.

Omigosh, we walked the tracks all the time, and many times in significantly altered states.

The only guy I know who was ever hurt by a train was a buddy of mine in Springfield who hopped the trains a lot to get downtown to the bars. He continued doing it into his 50's and eventually his luck ran out. Lost a leg.

We had tracks going through the neighborhood. We were there regularly squishing pennies and other stuff. I knew one guy who lost a leg to a train there.

But think of how much he saved in cab fares.

Also future shoe purchases.
