Synopsis: [From American Mutoscope promotional materials] Although forbidden by the rules of the railroad, the high trestle over the Black River at Watertown is frequently used by foot passengers. Our picture shows one of these reckless persons caught on the trestle by a fast train. Realizing that he has not sufficient time to reach the end of the trestle, the man lowers himself over the side, and hangs there while the train passes by.
