Roll No. : 15

When: August? July? I just remember it was hot that day.

Where: Near Brimley and Sheppard.

What I Remember: The day started out with Mark, Melissa and I hanging out on the train tracks. After an hour or two, Sergio and JP joined us and we all started to leave to grab some dinner. Mark realized he dropped his phone somewhere, which created a problem, because he could have dropped it anywhere along the path we'd walked, which was a pretty long path. After a lengthy search, we found it but as we found it, a train came along. Did I mention the tracks are still active? Either the train operators don't care or they know they can't stop the train just to give you hell for being on the tracks. We all got out of the way, but JP decided to play chicken with it, despite all of us yelling at him to get off the tracks. The train was going relatively slow, but it was still pretty frightening. As the train passed him, the operator got out of the cabin and threw water out of a bottle at him. Then he threw the bottle. The passing train was blocking our exit path, so we had to wait for it to pass. JP figured he hadn't given us enough of a scare, so he sat right next to the tracks and kept sticking his hand as near as possible to the train, which is when I took this photo. I've never been so scared for his safety.
