I’m impressed. Train must have been booking it too, in order to crash through the barriers at the end of the line. I suspect that driver will shortly be looking for new work.

Guess it falls to me to be the one to point out in America it’s hardly an uncommon occurrence for someone to rest  their trolley on a whale tail.

Just amazing. It’s like a M Night Shyamalan movie where the real purpose of the sculpture was realized well into the future.

Local metrorail trains are completely automated. Conductor just there to slam on emergency brake, which failed once in a recent accident. So this does have a possible way that this isn't the conductors fault

The sculpture, titled Whale Tails, is the work of the architect and artist Maarten Struijs, and was erected in the water at the end of the tracks in 2002.

thank goodness the artist was also an architect, it appears to have been structurally sound!
