For 30 years, the city has hosted "Mooning Amtrak" as crowds line up along the railway tracks, dropping their trousers when a train passes by. Up to 10,000 people take part, and visitors are encouraged to leave their cars at home and arrive by train.
Local legend has it the tradition began in 1979, after a bar room bet.
A drinker at the Mugs Away Saloon, which stands directly across the road from the railway, offered to buy a drink for anyone who would run outside and moon at the next train.
One customer took him at his word, and a ritual was born.
