Doesn’t shock me. Seems like for good sabotage you’d want to put at least a little bend in the rail, or rig things so the there’s a ramp for the flanges to ride up and over the rail.

Why does he sound like a modern human, and not a 1940/50s one?

Just imagining somebody running around with 40 lbs. of bright-orange painted steel. “Vat eez dat zing?” “oh this? Uhh, just my plane, going to do some carpentry, build some cabinets, you know”.

Searching for and posting up “how to derail train” videos is a good way to end up on an FBI and DHS watchlist. Were you anywhere near Palo Verde, Arizona, in 1995 by any chance?

And here I was as a kid thinking it’d only take a penny.

I assume this has an actual purpose, other than creating chaos?

In a Bollywood movie the hero would fire one single shot from a handgun at the pilot wheel, and the whole train, cars, tender and all, would flip upside-down and fly through the air. In slow-motion.

It’s what you use to re-rail rolling stock.

Also useful as a safety measure in order to stop a runaway.
