Hi! Thank you for doing this! I have two questions, if I may, and I hope they are not unbearably intrusive: 1) were you a rail fan, or did you ride freights, or have any affinity for trains, or was this just a random and very dangerous place to find yourself? 2) growing up next to rails, our school hosted a presentation from the railway intending to scare us from lingering or playing on the tracks, and we were told that when a train runs over limbs, the sheer pressure would seal veins and arteries, for a little bit at least, which, the railroad men told us, would slow down the process of bleeding out. Do you know if this is true, or was the case in your incident? Pardon me if I am being insensitive.
