I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why that middle-aged lady is putting a spike on the track but, then, I guess that's the dangerous appeal of the rail yard. No one is safe.

Gravatar Yes children, remember - shooting at trains is Very Bad. And it's not nice To Deliberately Hurt Someone.

Gravatar When I was a kid, I saw this movie on TV where this young man got his foot stuck on the railroad tracks. He had to take off his shoe before the train came. Unfortunately, he was wearing laced-up boots. He died off-screen.

Gravatar Ah yes, the mysterious and alluring life of the Railroad Special Agent. Licence to check hatch locks. You better run peddlers of dope, and playful hobos! But ecspecially you children, cause he's interested in you most. Veeeery interested.

Gravatar Not only did middle-aged black lady put a spike on the track, it looks like she nearly killed Adolf Hitler.

Gravatar This would be awesome if they named it "Kids Getting Owned by Trains". The extreme closeups really drive the point home.

Gravatar Spikes could cause the train to derail, some might think of it as a penny but it's affect could be much greater. Why she is middle aged? and black I don't know.
