Hi folks, I was watching a favorite show of mine, "Mythbusters" on the Discovery Channel, and noted with surprise a topic that will be featured on their next show: "Railroad Suction." It appears they will be testing the myth that if you stand too close to a moving railroad train on a platform, you will get sucked in. They do show a clip where they use a baby stroller with a dummy as their "test subject" and it appears to get completely blown away by a passing train, so it looks like it's not a smart thing to do. :) The show will be on next Wednesday, Nov, 8 at 9 PM EST on the Discovery Channel. - Paul The Erie Lackawanna Mailing List Sponsored by the ELH&TS http://www.elhts.org ------------------------------
