Wet rail, leaves and ties: while running, he slips and bumps his head - out cold. Now it's up to the crew to save this moron from his own stupidity.

There's a potential Darwin award! Not doing it with much style like other folks have though. Like Jeff said, wet rails, ties, leaves, not to mention oil residue from diesel fuel and the engine oil that typically comes from aging locomotives. Nice scenic area though. I wish the town that I'd grown up in would have landscaped an area like this near the tracks. Instead they chose to tear down a classic MoPac depot.

That train though is only going five to ten miles tops. The rails on the Northern Branch could never handle anything faster. The object running across the tracks was not fearing the train... he was fearing immigration closing in on him!

Nice shot Stephen - Very well done.

Brian, that's a pretty racist thing to say. Do you know for sure he was illegal and running from the law? I cannot believe your comment got past the mods.
