Railroad adventures as a kid...

We'll call this one of the adventures of me and Greg... <br />One summer evening back in the mid 1970s, my buddy Greg and I were looking for something to do when we noticed that a short SP freight train had side tracked to let another train coming from the other direction pass. So we decided that it might be cool to hop up in one of the open box cars and catch a free ride since the train was going so slow. After a few minutes, the other train passed by and the train we were on moved back onto the main line. If we had jumped off right then, we would have been okay, but like a couple of idiots we stayed on thinking we could jump off if it started speeding up. Well. It did start speeding up-real fast before we knew it, and we ended up having to ride it over twenty miles before it slowed down enough again so we could get off... Greg's parents grounded him for a month and banned me from coming near him ever again-which lasted about two weeks.
