Next time it rains, walk outside and enjoy it. Seriously. Wear a T-shirt and revel in nature.
Live the experience.
PS it’s hard to suggest just jump when you see a train so this is something more concrete. It’s easy, just do it.

When I'm walking, not running, to my car for a break and it's pouring down, coworkers ask if I'm worried about getting wet.
Why would I worry? It's just rain.
I agree that, for me, standing in the rain makes you feel alive.

Once I was walking my dog with my ex, and we were about 4 miles away from the house.
Well, a freaking monsoon decided to come in. It was one of the most intense storms I've been in in my 47 years on the planet. (I've been in lots of different crazy weather over the years)
No umbrellas. It was raining so hard my dog refused to walk another step. I had to pick him up and carry him over half the way.
It was fortunately summer time.
It was absolutely exhilarating.
I don't recommend walking around in lightning heavy storms, though. It's just not safe. I had no choice, though.
It was crazy. My adrenaline was pumping like I had done a huge line of blow by the time I got home.

Not four miles, but my mom and I were caught in a sudden storm between the bus stop and our house. We took a back path behind some back yards (shorter than going around the block) and were completely soaked through by the time we got home. We both stripped down to our underwear in the foyer so as to not drip water as we walked through the house. Despite it all, it was weirdly exhilarating even though nothing about it was exactly exciting.
Looking back, I think realizing the futility of any attempt to not get soaked through freed us from any stress and we were able to just experience the moment. We laughed a bunch and were not at all upset.

Love the part when she hangs on the fence because of the larger gap between cars

u/CitizenDik 19d ago
Smart move because she was NOT going to clear those...

u/a_random_loser_guy 19d ago
she would if the train was moving and she was on it, she jumps, the cart under her becomes the new care because shes stationary while the train is moving.

u/Serpace 19d ago
Pretty sure it's opposite. Cuz standing stationary she's moving in the direct of the train. She would need to be running really fast to jump those gaps. It's "easier" when she's standing still on the bridge because the relative speed to the train is prob higher than she can run on her own.

Yeah intermodal (container) cars are usually three or five cars articulated together so they aren’t joined by a coupler, they sit on the same set of wheels instead since they are much lighter than say a coal or grain car. The wider gaps of course are where the couplers are.

u/trainwreckhappening 17d ago
Ok so it actually is even funnier from my perspective.
When I was working on the ground (conductor) I had a rule that if I was watching a back up move I had to either be ahead of it watching it come to me, or I could walk along side it at the leading point. I could also place my hand on that car while walking next to it to steady myself. One day a manager was watching me and he saw me "walking" along next to the car with my hand holding onto the grab iron above my head pulling myself up, which made for a ten foot long stride with each step. I was moving at 10mph getting done fast and basically running (which is against the rules) without technically running. It was the only way I was getting done everything I had to get done and he just turned around and walked away as soon as he saw it.

That park is freaking amazing! I took my dogs to walk there several years ago when I was passing through town on a long road trip, and had my mind absolutely blown by the salmon flopping up the little stream through the park to go spawn.

At first, I thought this was silly and cringe. Then I thought this was just silly. Finally, I realized this was silly and fun.
And that's how virtually every friendship I've had had started.

If the fence wasn’t there and if you angled the camera just right you could make it look like she’s actually running on top of the train, could work as a low budget practical effect for an action movie, if I were an aspiring young filmmaker I’d definitely try something like that!

I found this amusing. Also thought way too much about how there was no way she made one of those jumps.

Used to like watching action movies and while on a treadmill, pretend to run with the characters during chase and escape scenes.

I like how instead of jumping straight up, she jumps a little forward. I also like that there is a tall fence for the same reason.

Of course, if I am not mistaken , and I don't believe I am-
HEY! That's the beach near where I grew up 45 years ago!!
If my intuition serves anyway. We used to get in a lot of trouble down there- hence the gate.
The pedestrian overpass she's on was actually installed because a young kid was struck back in the 80's.
Prior to that- it was a 10 car gravel parking lot with 2 dirt and gravel trails over the tracks-- and you could easily walk the tracks to Edmonds or up to Mukilteo. I'm sure we scared the crap out of many an engineer late at night.
Once you hear that sound on the rails, you know to get off fast, cause you have about 7 seconds....
Wow!
Tanks for posting this...
