WHICH ARE YOU?

And the observant one is about to see something spectacular...err...tragic!

I am the unlucky one (not really) the light I see at the end of the tunnel is the freight train.  

I’m the lucky one. When I was around 12 years old my friend Frankie and I were taking a “short cut” over a railroad bridge. We were in the middle of it when we heard the unmistakable sound of a train coming around the bend behind us.

it was just like the scene in “Stand by me” we ran as fast as those cross ties would allow and jumped just as the Alaska Railroad freighter was on us, the screaming whistle blasting. 
Another frightening memory from my childhood in Fairbanks.

I consider myself a realest.

Hi David,

I had a similar experience in a train tunnel in Yorkshire as a child. Managed to find a small cleft in the tunnel sidewall just in time.

These escapes, if we survive them, make us stronger and wiser. Thanks for sharing.

I'm the witness for the Train Driver when he hits the idiots.

I would be the Optimist; knowing I'm about to die a completely painless, instant death AND get my name in the newspaper!
