Train Dodge! 
1999 Personal Account

(July 1998) Two years ago, a young man and young lady were out on their first date on the beach. On their return they had to cross the railroad tracks. A train was coming down the tracks and as it approached the young man yelled, "Train Dodge," and lept across the tracks when it was nearly upon them. Apparently this was a game he had played before with somewhat better success. They found his remains spread along about 150' of track. I'm sure it was a date that the young lady will not soon forget.
