Doug Mayer, a volunteer at the museum, witnessed the incident and said the train started moving again roughly 30 seconds after the cyclists were clear.



Mayer said he can't believe how stupid some people are and he sees things like this all the time. He has also seen people climbing over rail cars to avoid waiting for stopped trains and driving around control gates when the train is only two hundred metres away. It is dangerous, he said.



What annoyed him the most, he said, was that the cyclists appeared to be a man in his 30s with a 14 or 15 year old teenager.

If I had the time, I could post a 100 page thread about the stupid things I've seen people do around freight trains.

We used to climb over/under trains like this all the time when they were stopped in White Rock.  Nothing really inherently dangerous about it as long as you're not a gimp and can move...  They don't accelerate fast, and you can easily hear when they start moving again...

I saw CP police arrest a trespasser climbing onto and over a rail car at Keith yard in Calgary recently.

The Darwin Award would've been more completely deserved had another train  been coming down the rail in the foreground.

Even had the CP Police show up at my Grandparents house one time!   :laugh:



I told them I wasn't anywhere near a train...  And they left! ac_razz

Hanging out around trains seems to be a lifetime habit with bums like you.

That's nothing...  You should see the shit people pull in front of big rigs.  Train operators have it easy.

Crashing your car into an incoming semi-truck seems to be a common way of committing suicide..



These weaklings should grow a pair and hang themselves like a man instead of endangering other people..



Real men shoot or hang themselves.
