Yes I said Trains. An episode of cops where a cops chases a dirt bike down tracks and ends up getting stuck on them. Now heres the kicker not one but 2 trains are inbound. You have to watch to find out what happened its hilarous.
I am sure the railroad and the cops even the citizens are still laughing at that one. And here I thought I was being original putting a cop car stuck on tracks on my HO layout lol.
Didja notice that said cop drive OVER a 90 degree diamond? Holy frijoles! [:)] No wonder he got a flat tire!
My favorite cop vs. train story, however (and who knows how true this is as it supposedly happended many years ago), is the time when a local officer returned home (w/ cruiser) late one night after a long shift. His home abuts a local rail yard, where the guys were doing some switching (crash-boom-bang-squeal). So disgusted because of the noise, he hopped in his cruiser and drove down to the rail yard (still in uniform). He approached the front of the loco on the engineer’s side and started yelling and complaining to the engineer, saying that there’s a law against working and making noise after such-and-such hour in this town! The engineer replied that the railroads are exempt from local laws like that.
The cop said if you don’t stop right now, I’m gonna arrest you for disturbing the peace!
The engineer replied, Try it if you can!
The cop then jumped on the diesel and started for the engineer in the cab…but then realized that there’s no door. Since it was pitch black, he couldn’t find any other way into the cab, either.
The engineer leaned out his window and said, “Next stop, Middleboro!” (a town about 20 miles away) And he yanked the throttle back to Notch 8.
The cop quickly scrambled off the loco before it got going too fast, and the train departed the scene, leaving a dumbfounded cop in the ballast. [:)]
That engineer never got arrested…at least not for simply being an engineer. LOL
