Norwegian Kids Pull Off Impossible Engineering Feat

Sep 26, 2007 Geeks and Gadgets, Unordered Miscellany

I have many childhood memories of playing on the railroad tracks. We’d put coins on the rails so they’d get flattened. We’d climb train signals, the ones that went over the tracks, and lay on the metal grating as trains blew by us 10 feet below (you had to hide behind the signal lights because engineers would stop the train if they saw you and that would cause some HUGE fines). It was a little daring but it’s nothing compared to below. John sent me this video of some Norwegian kids and their little experiment with railroad tracks. It’s very impressive.
