Few mooners as the Orange County Sherrifs has a large presence.

Lots of good cadidates for the "before" shots in the Weight Watchers commercial.

I do not know what this proved, however i guess we have some Mooners!
 

Looks like a group of idiots with too much time on their hands!

Guess, too many new viewers to understand the past history of the event, but no need to try and explain.

Why people have to engage in such behaviour is beyond me ... but to each his own I suppose.

There's a bar across the street from the tracks. It's said that many years ago a patron offered to buy a beer for anyone who would moon the next train that passed. Bargoers mooning the train quickly became a tradition, then an unofficial annual event. The event grew to thousands of people, most of them drunk, it required the city to close the street, people parked wherever they could (in an area not meant to host thousands of cars).

It just evolved until it became unmanageable; large drunk crowds containing public nudity, drunkenness, and general stupidity. The city, fed up with the foolishness, hit back hard about ten years ago. They cited and arrested any violation they could find. The event stopped being enjoyable when people couldn't drink or be nude in public, and the crowds began to dwindle. Now it's just a handful of people.

I'm amazed anyone still participates.

OK , NOW I KNOW THEY HAVE FAR TOO MUCH TIME ON THIER HANDS

These folks need to wake up to today's Orange County. With among the most overzealous prosecutors in SoCal, and a complicit OCSD only too happy to feed them busts for even the most frivolous of infractions...this silly tradition may land you in a CA state prison as a sex offender. A potential death sentence.

Save your mooning for the California Zephyr aboard a raft floating down the Colorado River. 

"...overzealous prosectutors"???

Keeping public order is always welcomed by mature citizens,  particularly in super-liberal SoCal.
This would've been grins to do when I was a 19 year old sailor out of Long Beach in the 60s.

Heard about this hooliganism several years ago.
Glad it's now passe, DUDES.

They are, and were, people exposing their privates to children on board the trains.

That you call that "good fun" says a lot about you. But as seen with Epstein and his friends, a lot of people are into that kind of behavior.

Guess Duna has not noted that in today's Web, all the detailed photoes of undress, that any age can view.

Just as you say about the Amtrak Diners, changes are with us, so a bare ass is nothing compated to what one see on the so called modern communiction world.

The very first time I took my kids for a train ride, we went to San Diego on the then San Diegan on the second Saturday in July, totally ignorant of the young tradition. Indeed, there were mooners along the fence.  But the train was going so fast that we were well past before we knew what we thought we had seen.  Checked dates more carefully after that.
