I don't have a lot of crazy stories, but I have one unusual story.

I got to go take a private train with my dad.

We had one first class car and one locomotive.

My dad worked in the train industry, he sold equiment used for railroads.

He called me one day and asked if I wanted to ride a private train, I had time so I gave the only apropriate answer, "yes".

So after having worked a night shift I slept far too little, got on the train to the city my dad was in to ride the private train back.

He was doing a demo of his company's equipment and had arranged for them to use a private train, I just joined him on the journey to our city as a fun and interesting experience.
