Depends on the speed. "At speed" in the open country can mean 80mph, in urban areas it's a lot slower.

It looks like the train wasn't moving all that fast. Still, no reason whatsoever to be that close.

Eh, you never know where threads will go. Someone here may say the kid didn't deserve a boot to the head.

He didn't. He deserved to be hit by the train.

Sadly, trains are very limited in maneuverability.

Heh. Imagine describing train specs in terms of common car specs:

Acceleration (0-60mph): 2 minutes
Stopping Distance (60-0mph): 1.5 miles
Turning Radius: 100 meters
Fuel Efficiency: 0.4 mpg
Towing Capacity: 45 metric ****

In other words, "She ain't much for racing, but damn if she can't haul a shitload o' stuff."

Train fuel efficiency looks a lot better if you look at it in terms of ton-miles; it's around 500 ton-miles to the gallon right now.
