I have never hit anyone with my train in my career, but I have come within inches several times.
Please stay off railroad tracks.

Just learned of this one from a coworker.
Two in the same week.
Please, I beg you, stay off the tracks.

@grayman having grown up in a railroad family, i fail to understand how people can't hear or feel a train coming. it's not like they're random or stealthy. they run in exact location, at pretty specific times & they're LOUD & they vibrate the ground
@grayman i learned to drive one of these before i learned to drive (not that they let me do more than move it a few hundred yards, but hey, it WAS moving)
@grayman @redenigma 😆
