Well I only had nickels and pennies smashed on track other than that I stayed away. <br />Now my Grandpa started telling stories when he got older. <br />His dad was a boiler maker for the L&N and he and his buddies would roll old tires down the hill towards moving freight trains so they would get destroyed. They also had a trolley line in town and they would move construction barriers across the tracks so the operator would have to get out and move it off the tracks. they would also rig it so the connection from the catenary wire to the trolley would somehow come loose and the trolley would stop. And one last one <br />they had these caps filled with explosives and at night they would set a liine of them up on top of the rail and as the trolley would run them over BAM BAM BAM BAM!!! to give everyone on board a scare.
