Have you ever seen anyone do anything really dumb or dangerous around the railroad or have you ever seen heard anything funny around trains (I once did the Titanic "I'm the king of the world" on the front catwalk of a P&W locomotive).

Well, last week I saw a couple of kids get about 5 feet in front of a moving train and put pennies on the tracks. I don't know if this counts. The train wasn't moving very fast, but I believe it was stupid and dangerous.

In 1992 was on a UP steam excursion from Sacramento to Portola. In Oroville the train was moving very slowly to get in position to water the coaches.Some kids were putting pennies on the track under the moving train[xx(]!
