"Mooning of Amtrak
"Mooning of Amtrak" started in 1979 as a bar bet at the Mugs Away Saloon and has been an annual tradition ever since. That is, until last weekend, when some 8,000 people showed up to moon a passenger train as it rolled by.
This happened as the train motored through Laguna Niguel, a Southern California city with an estimated population of 65,000.
The police were not amused and broke up the bare-butt contingent. And, yes, alcohol was involved, which may be why some revelers mistakenly mooned a Metrolink commuter train instead.
But pranks and practical jokes are a universally loved art form."

| | OK, then I will get Ed H. to bring his Amtrak train and right after the MLS photo is taken we can have the mooners stand or bend under the bridge and share their talents. | |

| This has gone on for many years and is a well known occurrence. One of our most famous large scale modelers, (who will remain nameless, but let's say he is known for his weathering symposiums) goes every year and sends photographs.
