Re: Indiana rail trespassers...Clowns on Bridges. We had them too!

Back in the 1980's on a local goodstrain, I rounded the curve onto the Ormondville Viaduct to find two clowns about to bungyjump off. This was in the days of highnose so I didn't see them at first, they had the bungy cords tied around the rails of all things, one clown was leaning against the handrail trying to look nonchalant while the other one was standing on top of the tower edge below the deck.

I would've loved to have seen the looks on their faces after slicing through the bungycords and reality set in BUT I certainly didn't need to contemplate what the result would have been if he had jumped just as we showed up.
