Believe it or not, I almost got hit by a train.
It was a clear sunny winter afternoon.
I was cross-country skiing in the middle of the tracks in Gallop Park aside the Huron river.
That stretch of area is several miles of a long wide open bend with no trees to block the view of approach.
I happened to look back and saw it coming up fast at 60-80mph. Silent.
WTH? Why didn't I hear it?
The engineer should have seen me a mile away.
No time to attempt to walk over the rails.
I leaned over and monkey rolled away.
1,2,3,4 seconds death blazed by.
