Lovely things, trains.

(I wasn't when i thought of this but then the train arrived so I'm on one now)

Something keeps beeping, I hope it's supposed to.

Maybe the trains reversing

At first I missed my stop.

And then, getting off at the next stop, the first train the other way blew past me even though i was clearly waiting for it

8/10

is it an Amtrak?

I rode on one once. It was very comfy with old worn leather seats

Not quite. It is Septic (SEPTA, formerly the South-Eastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority but now mostly just Philly and the collar counties)

All of the bets films are set on trains.

Under Siege
Murder on the Orient Express
Snowpiercer

Train films are definitely better than plane films

and/or boat films

And the James Bond flim with the fellow who loses his arm and goes out of the window, which always makes me laugh.

Incidentally, why has no one yet turned the bit with Yaphet Kotto inflating into a Confused.com advert. I keep looking on Youtube and being disappointed.

Horror Express

A film so good that I told people at work about it and one of them watched it then bought it on dvd for £20

The RMT use The Polar Express as a tool of torture to extract confessions from those who have sinned.

All train films should be remade on those pump trolley handcars. Just imagine how exciting it'd be to watch a crying Hercule Poirot solving a murder whilst vigorously working a trolley pump with an equally teary Hastings!!!!!!!
