When I was a kid in Morgantown, WV we used to catch rides all of the time on coal trains. the trick was to get on while they were starting out then as they picked up speed and the click, clicks were getting closer then we’d jump off. In those days they used a caboose so we’d get on in a turn so they would not see us. They don’t use the caboose anymore. I was told some time ago that the speed limit for coal trains is 25 MPH but it’s obvious they were speeding.

But, anyway…. I’ll be away for a few days Gang So, Y’all have fun and Play Nice!
