2003-06-04 | |||
HOQUIAM, Wash. - A Hoquiam woman was cited for assault, trespassing and resisting arrest after she was discovered half-naked hanging upside down from a train ladder. Robin Bishop, 31, was taken into custody about 2:30 p.m. Monday, after an engineer on a Puget Sound & Pacific train discovered a woman hanging from the rear of the train as it approached a bridge here. "She was wearing jeans and nothing else," Hoquiam police Lt. Mike Whittaker told The Daily World of Aberdeen. "She was hanging upside down, topless, from a moving train."

#8 I once had my car towed by a locomotive (switcher). They used a 5/8ths nylon rope, tied it one end to the suspension of my car, and the other end to the hand-rail. Towed my car backwards. Yes, I wish I'd had a camera. |

#6 Just doing my part to help spread the word about what even one empty railroad car (20 tons) can do to a body--like running over a wheel of cheese with your car. Speaking of cars, they don't fare much better when hit by a 200 ton locomotive. |

#5 Oh believe me there's much worse things than that on the web. I saw a documentary once depicting a naked woman riding the rails. Wonder if that's the same one. |

#3 PS&P is a freight line, so she definitely hopped this illegally. Given her mental state, she was very lucky she didn't fall off while in transit or, if the train was in motion at the time, attempting to board. DeadTrainBums.com has some graphic pix of idiots who tried similar stunts and weren't so lucky. (WARNING: Did I mention it was graphic?) |
