Strange Accident

[NW Mailing List]

Ken, My friend and I were about that age and would sit on the rail in the 50s at Vinton while waiting for a mallet. Once a track walker came by and advised us not to sit on the ggints (joints) and went right on singing. Anyone know if the girls were  blonde?? Ron H

Oh for Pete's sake!  I never cease to be amazed at the stupidity of some 
people.  Thankfully, they lived, so they can go on to explain to 
everyone who asks exactly how stupid and reckless they were.  Maybe it 
will stop someone else from doing the same thing.

I'm sorry, but I have no sympathy for someone who gets hit by a train. 
It's not like we swerve and attack them (though there are people who 
seem to think that).
