GOING LOCO
I once witnessed back in the early 80’s a man nearly
get killed at Healey Mills, a depot near Wakefield. He was
sure one of his last engines he needed was tucked away in
the long lines of locomotives held there, awaiting new duties.
He ran down the embankment, across the track, under the
buffers of two attached locomotives. He disappeared for
about five minutes. He suddenly reappeared between the locomotives
and jumped out into the path of a passing freight train.
It missed him by inches. This is the kind of insane risk,
I have witnessed many a time.
Of course not everyone would go to this extreme to see
a train.
