Discussion Don't do this please.
No one was hurt... this time. Apparently some kids were playing chicken with a train in Fairport. Train had to stop, the crew had to be replaced because they were so shaken and it held up foot traffic on Main Street for over an hour. (Cars already couldn't use it due to construction.)
If you have kids, please teach them better than this. I did plenty of stupid things when I was their age. I think everyone did. But we NEVER would have done this.
Edit: This is not my video. I found it on YouTube. There is a rail fan area where the video was taken. I figured someone would have it online e at some point.
I wasn't right there when it happened. I was close enough to see the train stop but not what had occurred.
Firetrucks and EMTs showed up within minutes. I didn't see any police but I suspect they were on the other side taking witness accounts.
