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.
I bet you could
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...
Trains annually kill over 800,000 people in North America.

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.
We used to climb all over active trains in our Youts!
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.

Have another drink, Mel. In your mind the lies get better with the rise in your blood alcohol and right now that's all you got.

If I were a train operator, I would be glad if I got to crush these fuckers with my train.

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.

It's not super common, but it does happen occasionally. Death by truck.
Sometimes they'll find a suicide note, and that explains why the crash happened. Sometimes they don't though...
It will never be reported as such, but I know about the case below, since I work in the industry. Suicide by truck:

Real men don't commit suicide. They deal with their problems and get through them regardless of outcome.
The only REAL man I can think of that commited suicide was Ernest Hemingway and that was due to mental derangement caused by a genetic disease.
Last year a 17 year old wrapped his car around a tree and died a few blocks from were I live. It was deemed a suicide when a note was found by his parents....I heard he was distraught over climate change, the election of Trump, the prospect of being involved in a school shooting, nazis, fascists and all the usual terrible shit we all face with life in the US...He was also openly gay or so he claimed... ac_dunno
When I first ran my truck, I ran as a sole proprietorship. I'm good at what I do, I thought...
Then I heard from others in this business, and what people will do, and claim, around big rigs. They are a target for every bogus lawsuit known to man...
I quickly LLC'd that shit. I pay more to run it as an LLC, but at least I won't end up homeless.

A 17 year old hasnt even tasted life yet..
He should have been committed to a mental hospital.
But the current policy is to keep these people on the streets.

My ass has been doing OK lately! Nonetheless, when this Covid bullshit is over, I might just get it surgically welded just to be sure...
