A couple of dogs jumped into the Charles River at Millennium Park this afternoon just as an inbound Needham Line train was coming through.

I do know that the nonstop DING DING DING DING DINGDINGDING on the Orange Line is going to make someone go berserk real hard and heavy any day.
Trains use that bridge?

I have paddled my kayak under that bridge a hundred times and never seen one. Now I'm going to have a dilemma every time I pass under it; do I continue, or lay in wait? Going under it while a train is going over it would be kind of cool.
Careful...

From personal experience, a fair bit of schmutz rains down on you when a train goes overhead. Little bits of rust from the tracks, dirt knocked loose from the vibrations, etc. Size ranges from powder to cornflakes.
I'll wear a hat

Though it should probably be a special kayaking-under-trains hat. I'm sure they carry them at REI.
Pith helmet

I'm sure a pith helmet would do. The problem with wearing a pith helmet is that wearing one, it's hard to make progress down the street with all the attractive people stopping to ask you out on dates.
maybe you’re thinking about a different bridge?

Trains go by on that bit of track about every 15 minutes during daylight hours, weekends as well as weekdays. Millennium park has been one of our go-to places to take a walk for nearly 20 years now and i doubt theres been more than a handful of times a train*hasn’t* passed by while we’re there.
