Within the last hour I came close to witnessing another traggedy much like this one. I was out photographing some cars on one of the BNSF's siding a few blocks from my home. About the time I had finished taking pictures and was ready to head for home, a couple engines coupled onto one end of this cut of cars out of my line of sight, and I am talking of at least 20 cars here. I could hear the brake line being charged with air throughout the entire string of cars. <br /> <br />Just as I was about to head for home, I watched two adults come walking off the bike trail and they headed straight for this cut of cars. I instinctively knew what they had in mind and I warned them not to do it. They crawled underneath a covered hopper and were gone. Hardly a minute later that train started moving!! This scared the HELL out of me and I was not prepared for what might have happened! I do not carry a cell phone so I could not have called the police or the railroad authorities to warn them! None of us who are witnesses to things like this need to have our days ruined by people who should know better. I would not sleep very well at all if these two individuals had ended up badly hurt or at worse, killed right in front of me. <br /> <br />CANADIANPACIFIC2816 <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />of course you have the right, nobody is preventing you to have any feelings, from joy to hate, but it ain't actually benefiting either you or the people around you. <br />Anger is not constructive. <br /> <br /> <br />
