Statistics say rails will kill 7 people during their career(based on a 30 year time frame)
Our double mains run right thru downtown(local college bar area) Tucson.Sometimes we end up stopped before we get to the yard.
There were two dipsh!ts(in their 20's) who decided train hopping after consuming copious amounts of alcohol was a good idea.And they were texting each other while doing it.One would text:"i'm on this train over here".The other would text back:"Well-i'm on this one that's moving over here".How do i know they were texting each other?............
So....the EB starts pulling and the slack runs out and pops this guy off the car and he lands between the cars.The following car cuts his head off.The crew has no-idea as they are 4000ft to the east.
The train behind comes along and finds the head-less corpse WITH the cellphone still in his hand with the above mentioned text still on the screen.
Needless to say there was a bunch of "Head-less texters" jokes going 'round.
