Playing on the Tracks.

Did you play around the tracks or even jump a train now and then, we were lucky i guess. Newsvine - Train kills 3 teen girls crossing Florida bridge

hell ya--from putting pennies on the tracks to jumping off just before the engine whooshed by. Your right--lucky.
I bet others here have some good train stories too !

seeing car totaled and lives lost by them, saw a many of those. we had a swimming hole under the trussel bridge we'd see who would wait the longest till the train got on us before we jump off in the water.

Used to cross a train trestle all the time when i was a kid. Never had a close call but it used to scare the hell out of me
 
In 1987, one of the local kids lost his right arm playing on teh tracks, he slipped jumping from frieght car to car, and his arm was pinned and sawed off under a wheel.

He was lucky to survive it, the kid was only 16 at the time.
 
I live in Melbourne and this was all over the news this weekend.

Unthinking kids. This time it cost some lives. Shame.
