The Mocking Train

I was coming home from work last Friday. Suddenly, a train jumped out onto the tracks, blocking my path.


The train stopped. The last train car was clearly in sight. Then, with a squeal of unholy delight, the metal beast began to back up.


The train crept forward. When the end was in sight, the train stopped again. Then it backed up. When the engine was in sight (again), the train stopped (again).
It did this forward / backward trick 6 times. I am not exaggerating that number.
I finally called the police. I had no other choice. I couldn't throw rocks (I didn't have any), and I didn't want to scream profanities (the guy on the motorcycle behind me was doing fine on his own).
The police agreed to call the train station and yell at them. 3 seconds after I got off the phone with the police, the train moved away. I am not exaggerating that number, either.
The moral of the story is to watch out for trains when you visit Owasso. They will eat your heart if you're not careful.
