AS A KID (aged 17) it's really embarrassing to see, well, other kids doing what they do around trains. I have nothing but respect for the railroad and its property and it just burns me up to see anyone screwing with trains like they do - walking in the four-foot, throwing stones at the cars, dodging trains at crossings, and all that. Not only are they endangering themselves, but sometimes the lives of railroad workers and people near the tracks as well. And through all of that, it reflects poorly on us railfans - especially us KID railfans. (A lot of people do understandably have a problem with a 17-year-old near the tracks, even if I'm just there to railfan and try to be as safe as possible.) If they don't kill or hurt themselves or others, at the very least it makes people wary of even safe railfans such as ourselves. <br /> <br />(Oh, and, yes, I have seen the aforementioned video. I'm genuinely surprised a similar accident has never happened in my town, that I know of.) <br /> <br />So, from a KID to all the other kids out there - DON'T SCREW WITH TRAINS. PERIOD.
