Vacation idea: Ride the world's longest train.

[Ocelot II]

11. I used to hear railroad accident stories a lot when I was a kid

because my dad worked for a railroad (management, not on a train crew). That was long before selfies, but he'd tell us about people trying to beat a train across a crossing area, or drive around the gate arm, or about snowmobilers driving along the side of a track. He lectured us about not getting even close to train tracks and warned about how you couldn't always hear them coming and that it could take a freight train as much as a mile to come to a full stop. I grew up knowing how dangerous trains are, and I just shake my head when I read about these stunts.
