One of my coworker’s sister is biking with a group cross country. They started this week. Anyway, yesterday as they were cruising through Washington alongside the tracks when they had a friendly encounter.
“Highlight of the day was a train that stopped next to us. The engineer got out waved us down and handed us a 6 pack of drinking water! He got back in the locomotive and continued on.”
She did not give any details as to the railroad in question, but it appears from the map of where (Plymouth, WA) they were it was a BNSF crew. UP is on the other side of the river there, but I doubt they are riding along the interstate next to the lines on that side.
Nice to know there are random acts of kindness from the big guys too!
