It's Friday, I'm bored sorta.
My brother is a train engineer, he saw an animal on his track and did what he could to scare it off the track, flashing lights, hootin', nothing Hit it. Didn't have a chance to report it because idiot teens 1/2 mile later were playing train games. WHO WILL STAY ON THE TRACK LAST ? That was reported , no one hurt. :S 2 days later his wife read about a dog cut in half by a train ............guess whos' train? Here comes the NUTBALLS .....a neighbor dispute...dog tied to the track. Some sickys PC
Mike my brother has been doing this for 12 years now. When he went through training he was told and fairly warned that these kind of incidents will happen. NOT MAYBE BUT WILL. In his early years, he hit a body, previously killed but laid on the tracks. That was his first incident and certainly not pleasant. He has 3 years to retire and wishes it was tomorrow. PC
