I know this situation all to well <br /> <br />in the dark doing the midnight Run, kids want to get home. <br /> Teenagers think they are invinsible and are extremely naieve to any situation... They often wait on the platform for the train to arrive. Like always i have activated the flashing lights of the control cab and the ringing of the bell.. <br />They get real close to the tracks and threaten to push each other on the tracks. , mokingly or not.. it's still VERY dangerous.. so i let the horn go when they try this move...a 1 second long Blast... by pulling the lever right to the bottom.. The women on the platform immediately cover their ears.. and some Men do to.. If the Kids come into the first car.. I will get up and throw the book at them for their Stupid, idiotic behavior.. if not.. i'll get the Conductor to go yell at them.. or if the inspectors are on board, i'll get them to ticket them. <br /> <br /> doin't let that fool you.. i can enter a station at 50 MPH and do a complete stop without breaking necks before the station is over.. at midnight i only have 2 or 3 cars and an extremely powerful locomotive meant for freight but altered for passenger use. <br /> <br />Tracks are very dangerous!!
