How hard is it to stay out of a train’s way? It’s not as if they can turn.

Don’t play on the railroad tracks.
Come inside out of the thunderstorm.
Don’t stick your tongue on a metal pole when its below freezing.

Good advice no matter what your age is.

“What’s the point of working out on a railroad track?”

It gives your video that gritty feel, like you are Rocky Balboa or something, I guess.

Maybe a year ago, a person was killed by a train in another Georgia location. They were filming a movie and were on a trestle over the Altimaha.

Apparently they were violating the terms of their contract with the railroad allowing them to use the trestle.

Number of professional fitness instructors run over by trains:

USA - 2
Rest of the World - 0

God bless America! Get Guiness on the line...

Maybe he did, but “butt” doesn’t communicate the same urgency as: “...get yo a— off the tracks, idiot!”

LOL, my cat does that exact thing, sometimes with both paws!

On this story, I don’t know who the guy is, but I don’t find any humor in his demise. He should have been looking out for himself.

I agree with the other poster...why around train tracks? Is it edgy or something?

Sometimes it pays to be a lazy slob.

Agree. I can safely say there have been no trains spotted anywhere near my recliner.
