| Question: Do you walk the railroad tracks? Posted: 17 Nov 2016 06:39 AM PST A bad idea on many levels, and in addition to the possibility of tangling with a train. Uneven footing everywhere; chuck holes, rocks, unstable soil, etc. It is a broken ankle waiting to happen, but if you're going to do it anyway, wear boots with high ankle support. Oil, grease, crater, creosote... Slippery stuff everywhere. Get some on your shoe, step on a rail and you're on your butt at best. Smash your head on a rail it's lights out. If you're left merely unconscious the next moving equipment coming along is going to roll you up*. If you're going to do it anyway, don't step on the rail. On the inside of worn rail at the ball (top part) there is to be found 'flash.' This is very thin, very high quality carbon steel with absolutely no give to it at all and as sharp as a surgeon's scalpel. It will lay your ankle open to the bone and you won't even feel it until you look to see why your stockings feel wet. So, if you're going to do it anyway wear boots with high ankle support which can help guard against it, but no guarantee. In rural areas wild life loves the right of way as easy going. Where I live and I've railroaded we have bear, cougars, coyotes, fox, bobcats and really unfriendly bucks when in rut. Rattlesnakes, too. Lots of them. At dusk and into darkness, in the summertime they are out and about and often found laying along the outside of a rail, lengthwise, to get the heat from the rail before heading after the nighttime food. High ankle support may help out here too, but no guarantee. Locomotives don't always pull cars around. They shove them as well. If an engine more than a mile away is shoving cars, you won't hear the engine and then the cars can sneak up on you in near dead silence. And there are some dodgy folks to be found here and there as well. All of which, and there is much, much more danger than can be cited here, rules out a stroll along the tracks as advisable, whether hiking, rail fanning, photographing or as a short cut. But if you're going to do it anyway, against my best advice, be smart about it. *Getting 'rolled up' is a railroad term in the US. It means at four inches above the rail the pilot of the locomotive sits too low for a person's body to clear. It starts you rolling along under the train and as each wheel comes by it slices you into pieces, just like the meat slicer in your favorite deli. You wind up strung out for high number of yards and then some poor sob has to come along and scrape up what's left of you before heading home for dinner. |
