1 dead, 1 recovering after fall from Riverside Park NS railroad trestle

[NW Mailing List]

In case some of you didn't see this story, yet another example.  This from February 2014 here in Atlanta.  I've worked movie and TV sets as an extra numerous times and these folks that work the sets earn every bit of their pay.  A sad story but yet another reason to STAY OFF THE TRACKS! (Especially trestles).

 I have no idea what people think railroad trestles are used for. I compare it to walking out on an airport runway to take pictures of airplanes! Sooner or later an airplane will land on your ass! Years ago I was told that on some social media site that folks told people that if they wanted a great photo to walk out on the Rivermont Trestle! Years ago a Liberty University football player and student got drunk at the Windmill Bar over near Flowers Bakery on Hollins Mill Road. He wanted to know how to get back to LU. Folks told him that the nearby railroad tracks went by LU. The boy decided to walk the tracks back. I think he was killed on one of the Blackwater Creek Trestles. I think I have the story right.
Take care,

 You just can’t fix stupid. Kids today just miss the obvious.
