i was thinking earlier about different things you could do while tripping to freak yourself out and one that i came up with that i really might try is sitting next to train tracks and waiting for a train to blow by me.
anyone ever done this? or got any similar ideas?

I used to hang out by the local train tracks a lot when I was little. It was pretty scary (for a kid) to have such a large, noisy machine rolling by.
I used to put coins on the tracks and watch them get flattened.
It probably would be a trip if psychedelics were thrown into the mix.

I think you'd get a better effect if you laid on your back in the middle of the tracks, and watched the train go over the top of you.

You could always try that yourself and post a trip report. 
Would be cool if you brought a video camera with you too.

I'd probably do something stupid like try to jump on the train as it rolled by...
So my conclusion is...
dont do it

I have done this. A few friends and myself had eaten some mushrooms and decided to go take a walk on the golf course that is right behind his house. We heard a train coming so we went and sat by the tracks...maybe 20 feet away. It was dark and all I could see and hear was this bright light and loud rumble. As it got really close to us one of my friends jumped up and moved back. It was loud as fuck, a little bit scary. As the train went by, the noises that the wheels were making on the track sounded like music to me...it was strange.

That's a good way to get killed. Not a good idea unless you wanted your community to laugh at you for years after you died a foolish death.
Be careful around trains, especially when you're not sober. Even sober people have been disoriented by close proximity to a fast train, and it has ended in death.
Oh, also: Train tracks are often private property, and train companies don't like trespassers.
