Me too. Go ahead and tell the story. In fact, I've dodged more than a few, but I was employed as a Railroad Conductor for five years.
I demand to hear it.
Well, a week of procrastination later...
A few years ago around my birthday, my mother called me and we went to an early clean up at the city river, called the Cahaba river. I went and picked up some trash along the river but realized a lot of it had already been picked up. Across the river though, it looked dirty as hell. So I kept going until there was a steep incline and I climbed it to find a train track and more people cleaning.
The tracks also went across the river, and that was the only thing that could get me across. So I decided to take it and I started walking across it. What got me after was that each track was about half a foot apart and if I got my foot stuck in any of them I'd be dead, but at the time I thought the tracks were abandoned. Well halfway through I hear a huge BEEEEEEEEEUUUUURRRRR in the distance, and then I hear a woman screaming "hey! hey!" and I turn around to see a woman running towards me.
I then turn back to where I was GOING and I see a train turn the corner past the trees, only its not a train. Just the first section, so it's going like 60-70. Well I hurry the fuck up and then leap off of it to the rickety railing on the side, then leap off that to skid down onto a rock that overlooks the river. I thought I would have had to jump 30 feet into the 4 foot water, but luckily I didn't need to.
What was funny was, when I got back later and got into the car, P.O.D.'s "Alive" was on the radio.
