Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Anyone been hit by a train?

Hahahahahhahaha

Wabi!! You RASCAL!!

Damn near got creamed by a train one night up a little north of Lubbock. No crossing arm, no flashing lights. I came within milliseconds of making the wrong decision.

I saw a pickup stop just a fraction of a second too late at a crossing one morning about a block from my house. It just caught the front end of the pickup and not by much at all, but it spun the pickup so violently that a woman passenger either hit her head or broke her neck when it happened, Sad deal.

I can sing me some Long Black Train. Not while I am having one pulled on me, of course.

Well, what do you sing then?

I speak in tongues.

Toy trains are the schit!!!!

👍

No.

But I have been first on scene and you’d be amazed how long it takes to find all the change.

Nephews family. No crossing arm at the site. https://www.epnewsleader.com/post/three-children-die-in-fatal-car-train-crash-near-corpus-christi

A cousin of mine was on a school bus that got hit by a train. Some kids died, he got a back injury.

His parents bought a 27’ cabin cruiser with the settlement. He bought a car and had tens of thousands in cash left over.

He was expelled from high school for fighting, stayed home for a year, smoked so much weed with the cash he received that his nipples enlarged

This was NY State but he somehow acquired a revolver but he had nowhere to shoot it. So one day when no one was home he collected all the phone books in the house, went up into the attic and propped them up against the far wall.

Six rounds later he checked the phone books for bullets, they had gone through and through and through the exterior wall. One or more had gone through the upstairs window of the elderly lady next door.

She blamed it on him prob’ly having BB gun, he agreed and paid to replace the window. His father didn’t notice the holes under the eaves until years later.

Dang we had some good overnight drunks on that boat, parked at the marina.

He got heavily into drugs, I weren’t, so we stopped hanging out. He left for Arizona where he became an outlaw biker. He has long since cleaned up his act and is fat, married 40+ years and retired now.

Another reason (besides my brother) I shoulda drank harder when I was a kid.

Only train wreck story I got.

I dated a chick that was a train wreck........

I shoulda looked further back.

England was still phasing out coal-fired steam engines when I was a kid in the ‘60’s. We lived right next to a rail yard, the puffing and metallic shrieks of steam engines was a familiar sound.

Between them and the fact everyone burned coal for heat and hot water all the houses were coated with soot. Us kids used to play on the parked locomotives and piles of coal. There was a turntable well balanced enough that even kids could crank it around, we would crush those big English copper pennies with it.

Maybe twenty years back i was on White Mountain (??) in New Hampshire. They had a coal fired shuttle train to the top. Dang that odor of coal, soot and grease took me right back.

LMFAO!!

🤣🤣

I remember that happening, feel for your family.

There have been a few mornings far in the past when I felt like it 😳
