For a summer I was a flagger on the railroad while they replaced a bunch of ties and rail. During this time, the arms did not function, so I was effectively the arm. My STOP/SLOW sign was supposed to function as a stand-in for the blinking red lights and arms. During that time, nobody was hurt, but holy poo poo if a driver sees you spin the sign to say STOP because the train is coming, it's like a bull seeing loving red. TELL ME TO STOP WILL YOU PEASANT VRROOOOOOOOOM

Maybe he just wanted to see a car get hosed by a train.

That third panel of the first comic just makes it. It's still funny if you remove it, but that panel included just makes it top tier.

Trains go really fast. They look at how far away the train is and think they've got tons of time because it's so far, but trains are much, much faster than they're prepared for.

Which is why you don't gently caress around on train tracks. Trains go really loving fast and cannot, under any circumstances, stop in time to avoid an unexpected obstacle.

I have a delightful mental image of them just waltzing down the tracks, blasting the gently caress out of any car that's crossing against the train.

People often underestimate how fast trains move due to how big they are, and when they're traveling in the same direction as the sound they make (i.e. toward you), there is not that much time between when you hear it and when it reaches you. Trains are loud, so people assume they'll be able to hear a train coming, but you don't actually have much time if you're on the tracks.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

This is actually a very unique issue that almost only occurs in America.

That is: fatal baseball injuries to children due to getting hitting the chest with a ball and it stops the heart.
