There's a place up in the Columbia Gorge, on the south side of the river, where there is a walkway that passes right under the train track. Not inside a tunnel, or a culvert. The train is bridging the path on a couple of iron girders. Only the ties separate you from the train, which is immediately over head.

The trains are pretty fast through there, and the engine and trucks would pass at say 40 to 70 mph, within three to three and a half feet of your head. (You can touch the girders.)

I can't imagine them slowing the train down for that underpass, but I also can't imagine the effect. Whoo-whee doughies.

I hope I've thrown everyone off my tail with 1500 words of boring scribble about little spikes; and I can go on living a normal life. Hee hee.

It's pretty effective, I think. Only thing I could think of, except hiding, and I decided against that.

I'd rather make people suffer.
