Getting Hit by a Train

I remember reading a few years ago about students at Arizona State University playing a new game of chicken with trains. The rail line runs within a few blocks of the University and a half block of Mill Avenue, where all the partying used to go on. (Maybe it still does.) Anyway, the gist of the game was to hang out on the main line with the winner being the one who stayed on the tracks the longest before the train actually got there. I can't imagine the heart attacks that caused for the crews of the SP freights running through town... but I do know that at least one kid was killed (I guess he won the game). Sometimes you have to think a college education is wasted on some people... but then again, it proves that Darwin's Theory is alive and well.... <br />I also remember the station agent in my home town in Connecticut back in the 60's talking about suicide by train a lot. <br /> <br />Erik
