This story seems to have suffered a bit of the telephone syndrome as it went through my family.

My ex-wife remarried some real asshole of a guy. At some point in time he had procured a bottle of acid and was searching for someone that would be willing to toss the acid in my face. I don't know why, I'm just assuming the guy didn't like me very much. Anyway, he finally came across someone that was willing to do it, but when the husband told the would-be acid thrower I was the target he refused. It turns out he was a good friend of mine and knew I had a reputation.

I pulled a girl that had been raped and beaten by 4 guys from Nebraska to Utah on her way to marry her boyfriend in California. Also ID'd two girls at the tracks at the start of my shift (11pm) and informed them they were trespassing. Near the end of my shift I was called to check out a body at the north end of the yard that turned out to be one of the girls I saw at the beginning of my shift. She was naked and looked like she was tossed from the train on to the gravel at about 70mph.

Also, most of the people I interacted with and kicked off the train were people that didn't want to get asked why they were hitch-hiking. Some horrible people ride the trains because they don't have to worry about the cops as much.

Video response coming soon. As for the proof, it wasn't something that was made a big deal of outside of Union Pacific. There was no derailment, collision, or stoppage, so it was treated as just another animal getting hit by the train.

I apologize for the audio quality. I'm recording on my phone and it kind of sucks.

Nope. I just kicked everyone off. More so for their own safety and the safety of others. After seeing what I have I wouldn't recommend train hopping for anyone.

I really don't think so. I think they are decent. They just have a different lifestyle that's for sure. They are good at conning people, really good pickpockets. All those funny things about them are mostly true, but that is just their culture.
