This is the railroad bridge I walked across with my friend when I was in college. We joked about that scene in Stand By Me where Gordy is almost run down by a train on a bridge. Halfway across, we heard a train horn. We looked back and way down the track we saw a train, with a plume of smoke rising up.

We ran. Fast.

Once we got to the other side, we looked back again and saw that the train hadn’t moved at all. It was sitting at a loading station. You’d think we would have noticed that the first time.
