I grew up near one of those major lines, the one that goes along 515. We used to try to get a train to flatten a penny for us or race it on our fourwheelers. Never got a flattened penny though. lol


Gotta tape the coin to the track so it doesn't rattle off before the train gets to it, or use chewing gum.


I was around 5 years old so my logic was pretty simple. I think I tried a heavy rock lol


I used to get lots of flattened pennies. The trains throw them so you have to spend a lot of time searching the gravel around the tracks. Be sure to watch for other trains so you don't get hit.
