Local legend has it the tradition began in 1979 when someone at a nearby bar offered to buy a drink for anyone who would run outside and moon the next train. Since then, people have “lowered their inhibitions and their underwear and pressed their naked buttocks up against a wire fence as the trains go by,” I read this today from news National Post, but curiously, I can't understand why they do that. Can anyone explain it to me? Thanks.
