I recall that someone also went on a rampage in a railroad locomotive.
When I was a kid I would spend most summer days riding my bike around
town, including going across the tracks. One day there was a locomotive
parked there. Running. With no engineer, or any adult in sight.
Being an inquisitive boy, and knowing that I had no malice in my heart,
I didn't waste any time climbing into the cabin. It was rather stark
and barren, with a number of controls and gauges I had no clue as to
what their function was. I also remember a metal container down on the
floor that contained several road flares.
After nosing around in there for a few minutes I climbed down, got back
on my bike, and rode off, with nobody the wiser. I wouldn't try that now.
HAH! I would have attempted to drive that thing 1/4 mile down the
track, just to say I'd done it. That far enough to get my bike off
and get away with an angry engineer running after me. g
That must have been fun, in any case.
