Insane train dodging

There's a Canadian National branch that runs close by my house and every so often, when traffic does run along it (which is extremely scarce since the material this branch was intended for, coal, is no longer quite as necessary in today's world), I run down to the tracks, in a specific spot right where a grade crossing is, and I dodge the oncoming train when it is within 4 ft. of me (typically they run at 30 mph max speed).

I don't know why I do it; it's not for the thrill, but rather my desire to get a "good look" at the locomotives (motive power is typically an SD40-2). So I don't know; am I just insane in the membrane?

are you some sort of extreme train spotter!?
i can feeel the buzz of seeing this rare train but have you ever thought about just getting ahead of the train and watching it come towards you as you stand beside the tracks rather than on them?

That's a nice thought, you perv.

As for your train problem, please stop. You know what's going to happen sooner or later.

Personally I think it's abnormal to know what type the train is, getting in front of one is abnormaly f**king stupid. Besides the mortal danger to yourself (Darwin will catch up with you eventually), you will ruin the engineers career and life if you get killed (yeah, eventually he'll be cleared of any wrongdoing, but I can't imagine having to live with that, even if I knew it was your own damn fault)

I can see why you do it, sometimes we have urges to do crazy stuff like that, so I'd say it's normal. But please, stop! One day something will go terribly wrong! x-x
