Do you do it when you are rushing to get somewhere, too impatient to wait, gas needle on "E" and afraid that you're gonna cut off or doing it for a thrill?

The loco that I am responsible for ways 225 TONS just the the engine alone at 20 mile per hour takes 200 feet to stop.now add 3 locos and 90, 200,000lb cars.

Never.
I used to live near train tracks and I saw the results of the "thrill" too many times...

The train always wins.
Is your life less important than being late, running out of gas, or thrills?

I live near a depot, so all the time because there is nothing there or employees are waving people through because there's enough time. But I don't take risks for no reason.

NEVER. Never, ever, ever. My life isn't worth it. I'd rather run out of gas, or run late, or whatever. Nothing is importiant enough for me to risk my life and die in such an ignorant manner.

Not I, of course my Dad was hit by a train when I was kid, so after seeing that destruction I guess I might be just a little scared to try it.

NEVER!!!!!! Great way to loose life, limb, &/or property. Reasoning behind this answer - Train very Big, Car small, car always lose.

You wont get any "yes" answer to this. Most of the people that DO either die, or are too stupid to use the internet.
