I guess.. lol, I was walking past a parked train and the engines were bussed together, the one way in the back had its window open.. so i thought it would be funny to toss some drugs in there.. Not really drugs, but left over paraphernalia .. I had a pill bottle with seeds, baggie, a couple roaches from my walk... i didnt toss the roaches in there cause i just dont throw weed away. but the baggie, some seeds, and the pill bottle sure smelled like pot tossed in the window of the cab.. i can just see it now.. "whos shit is this.. alright piss in the bottle right now" then too, someone might just hide the shit..
Remembering is selective forgetting. The railroad is pretty straight. Those engines can remain coupled for some time. If it is not the lead engine, the mysterious evidence could remain undiscovered for a while.
thats true, but this is a siding .. these engines service a lime quarry. Still it might be some time til they get back and forth and the end is the front.. If I find that laying on the ground along the line, ill lol.. once was at a drive thru and tossed small telephone wire, screws and nuts in the window while i waited.. Then the person came back there was all this stuff on the floor of electronic nature the poor guy didnt know what to think or where it came from. I looked at him and said "what?" with a straight face..
I really did it cause the train was blocking my way. I had to walk all the way down and then back to get where I wanted to go. I could of climbed under the hopper cars, but I didnt.. there was some dirt bike riders too pissed the train was blocking the way, but this isnt a legal road back in there, so..
I have to cross train tracks to get to the river where I swim. The trains are waaaay too long to walk clear down to the end and up around. I just climb over in between the cars. Saves me a long walk!
could of done that, if it wasnt idling.. hissing and shit. not good to do that unless catching a ride.. the engineers will get pissed off they catch you on a running train or crossing one..
yeah, they park trains there all the time, but very often the engines sit in the woods rumbling .. this one night I was tripping up on this hillside over the ways. I heard this fucking noise was creeping me out for a good bit. sounded like a giant machine coming over the hill, and I kept telling myself thats a train. But damn my mind was like no fucking ways this aint no train. And because it was near dawn I really thought there was a forest crew over yonder killing trees.. it just fucked with me like that for a good few minutes. and it turned out to be the train. I lold at myself..
One spring I really became irritated by this guy down the road trying innumerable times to start a lawn mower or some other small engine that just would not start. Over and over early in the morning, every morning. This was a rural area and I had no close neighbors. I was watching a nature program one evening and I heard the sound I had been hearing every morning. It was a male ruffed grouse beating his wings on a hollow log.
grouse will scare the shit out me sometimes, especially if im not hunting looking for them.. damn feathered jet..
They just finally moved a train that was parked on the tracks by my house for 3 years. I was pissed as I had to climb over the stupid thing to get to my favorite fishing spot. Damn trains
Once while camping in Oregon, I woke up to this loud engine sound. A deep thrumming, like a generator somewhere out in the woods. Deep a droning, sounded like something very big and loud some distance away. I was really confused because I was way out in the woods and hearing such an industrial noise was a bit distressing. Sat up, rubbed the sleep from my eyes, and looked around. And there, about 15 ft from me, hovering around head height, was this -huge- hummingbird. Size of my fist(I have small hands tho). Turns out that was what was making the noise...
Yeah, I was harassed by a female grouse once while fishing. I don't know if she was protecting eggs, chicks or what but she kept following me and when I would stop she would peck me. The girl definitely had a bitchy attitude. When I went to leave she even chased the car.
Kinda funny, unless your the poor slob who gets suspended for it. Worked with someone from Toronto who's mother was an engineer for the rail system there. They did a random screen or something and she tested positive for some anti-depressant that was on thier list. She was suspended for 6 months while she fought it out with them and her medication got changed. Great thing is it was a company Dr. that prescribed the meds in the first place. Fuckin idiots! She was still out of work for 6 months though, she got back pay, but still had no income for the time she was suspended, kinda fucked. So if someone does get hassled over your joke, lets at least hope it is some asshole that deserves it.
