You're in a dark place and hope the light you think you see at the end of the tunnel isn't a train coming straight at you. What if it is?

     By the time they see you in  a dark tunnel it's too late to stop TAW. You're deader than a doornail however dead that is. Thank you  for your reply and Happy Thursday! :)

    Ah! Okay then. What would you flag them down with?   Where would it come from or would not enter the tunnel in the first place unless you had something with you to attract attention? Thanks you for your explanation TAW and Happy Friday! :)

    Back in the 60's, my sister's ice skates became stuck in some railroad track cross timbers. Yes, a train was coming and it was blowing the horn. She escaped as the train was about 500 feet away.

  • WTF was your sister doing walking on railroad tracks in ice skates?

    There was a frozen creek next to the tracks. The creek and tracks were near our home. There was a bridge for the train and she had skated under the tracks but decided the ice wasn't all that strong so she came back over the tracks. It is awkward walking over terrain with ice skates on.

    I wish that would happen to me, pearl. Still, at least it has happened to someone. Good luck with it. :)

    Unless I could move out of the way in time I would be splattered all over the tracks, wouldn't I? What else could possibly happen? Lol:)
