The scariest 5 minutes of my life

It's a very rich sound scape of dynamics and devices.....

It's even more interesting when the wagons are rolling past in in the absolute pitch black of a star light only night, obscured by cloud cover, and the wagons are passing arms length away, and you can't tell if it's the wagons in front of you or the wagons behind you - and your standing on the ballast, between the tracks, between the two grain wagon trains...

It gets very interesting then.

Don't sneeze, fart, flinch, scratch your nose or fall over... just stand there for what seems like an endless eternity..... Just like a wooden power pole... No movement.

Trains don't care about people's health and/or well being. Subways, the same. Had some hair raising moments taking strolls through the TTC tunnels, way back when I thought that was a good idea. I have changed my mind on that.
