My buddy got an Orange Crate back in the day. The PRR or Penn Central bought it for him.
His original bike was a POS with a 2x4 seat, no gears. He was crossing the railroad tracks by our houses of course not at a crossing. As he was crossing the tracks with his bike he looked back to see a train coming fast at him. He jumped out of the way but the bike was destroyed. The train stopped to check on him. He was ok but the bike was toast so they bought him an Orange Crate. |
