We played around TRESTLES. Would get in the middle of a trestle and run like hell at the last minute to get off before “too late”.

Actually, I can remember doing that once. I was young and dumb then. But not that stupid. I was pretty chicken. I made sure I got off like a minute before the train even got to the trestle. I thought; “Jeez, this is (bleeped) up. Not doing this again”.

And - since I’m still alive - I never did.

There was a movie production that was illegally shooting on a trestle, and failed to provide competent "lookouts", and a couple of crew members didn't make it off the bridge, and one was fatally struck by the train.

The other was somewhat more successful at flattening against the structure.

We played around TRESTLES.

Yeah, back in the day I used to cross a trestle over a river a couple of times a summer. This was actually a Boy Scout thing. Some of us got seriously into hiking. One of our natural point-to-points had this dang river in the way. It had, of course, a quite convenient trestle. We took care to take care. Still not the smartest thing I've ever done, but good memories. It was fun at the time.
