Police were called out to break up the annual "mooning" of Amtrak trains in Laguna Niguel this afternoon when the crowd grew to 8,000 and many began baring more than just their behinds.

Participants -- who included children with their parents as well as middle-aged adults -- stood on a shoulder of the road parallel to the tracks to show themselves. The sideshow included barbecues, T-shirts sales and RV parties.

"It's so liberating it's contagious," said Steve Bartolo, 39, of Costa Mesa. "You just wait until that next train goes by . . . I can't stop."

Usually held the second Saturday in July, the event begins early in the morning and continues into the night. Though it has no official sponsors and free beer is no longer provided, it does have a web site..
