Ha, touche ! What a hoot ...

Ha, touche ! What a hoot ... :-)

I defer to your domain knowledge, t'is I who am out of step .... case in point ... good old Mr I Ronny, eh ? :-)

{ You see, right or wrong, I would have kept well away from the engine, and at most passed my concerns onward. }

Cheers, Mike.

This is the type of problem when allegedly clever people go beyond their domain of knowledge. You can tell that the guy - in his heart of hearts - actually felt he was doing some public service or the like by trespassing etc. Or more likely thinking pridefully of how clever he would seem to others when they find out how smart he was for discovering this 'lapse of safety'. When in plain fact he is simply a total fool/tool. I see plenty of that in my work ie. the 'helpful' passerby.

Cheers, Mike.

With all manner of respect towards Mike, I'm going to disagree here. I would never say impossible, but...
In nine years on the railroad I have never seen a locomotive left unattended, with doors open, bell ringing.

My two cents is it was a railroad employee who is now getting lots of laughs from all the stupid comments posted on that Youtube video by people who have no clue whatsoever.

If it really was some idiot civilian shooting that video, then Mike is spot on, and the guy is lucky he's not dead. Literally.

That is a possibility, but consider that he says at the end that he's already gone through all four of the engines. That suggests to me that he was the one who left the door open as we see it at the beginning, and also that he himself turned on the bell.

Even more infuriating to me, though, is the comment "Houses are private, trains are public." It's just shocking what people don't know, and don't even know that they don't know.

Anyway... [making a conscious effort to calm down]

Hi Bill.

Hi Galaxy.

I want Annie back.

It's OK. We're only throwing food at each other. We are down to the last of the bread rolls. If you want cake just go to any wall .... :-)

It is now morning, and after my nose surgery last Friday where they rotor routered my sinuses, I am still pooped. I got up feeling pretty good, but after my shower I am now exhausted and feel like I need a nap! I am sleeping pretty good, at least the covers aren't everywhere which indicates me tossing and turning all night long.
