I love watching train videos. I would watch Japanese train ones and would notice the Engineers pointing a lot. I later learned they have to point at every signal/warning light they see to acknowledge it. Perhaps American Engineers should do this, would keep them awake.

I remember a movie character whose name was "Sleep 'n' Eat".

Two of my favorite train videos are from Japan. One is the change of driving crews on a shinkansen bullet train. Very formal, the duty is amazing. The other is a young conductor on an old local streetcar line, everything looking like it is from th 50’s, but clean and orderly.

She should have gotten a job with BART. The computer systems run the trains. I’m surprised those MUNI trolleys can get up to 50mph. They should have speed limiters regardless in case the brakes fail.

Unstoppable with Denzel Washington.

https://www.imdb.com/video/vi3068790297/


TV series “FBI” Season 7, Episode 14 “Hitched” has a well done hijacking of a train with the ending of a sort of paring ticket car boot for a train to stop it abruptly and flip it into the air. “It won’t be a pretty ending.”


Plus the movies Taking of Pelham 123, Silver Streak(Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder) and Runaway Train (Jon Voight, 1985)

Brief clip of crashing trains and how HO scale effects were set up.

How is the braking system racist...? Because the pedals might have a black finish on them? I can’t keep up with the wokeness.
