Most of us probably trespassed "back in the day". I used to regularly roam the Reading Company branch line behind my childhood home in Pennsylvania.

I also remember making a trip to Horseshoe Curve in 1981 while attending Penn State University, and hiking up the main line from the Curve to Gallitzin. After nearly getting caught by an eastbound Conrail freight near the New Portage Tunnel, I decided not to act so "young and stupid" again.

Life is funny. Fifteen years after this episode, I became an Operation Lifesaver presenter and began preaching right-of-way safety with the zeal of the converted.
