Yes he can partcularly with those lightweight steel bearing subway cars or even with a 10 foot 4X4. The trick with the coin is where it’s placed. From a cold start a steam loco because the steel driving wheels allow no give over the smallest obstruction on the rail engineers would put their engine in reverse for a few inches then inch forward to gain inertia and crawl over any obstruction on the track.

The point about my comment is all is not lost if find a spot where you put the coin
