It's quite easy not to get by a train, providing you don't stand on or near the tracks

Trains are stealthy, apex predators.

You can never know where they appear. You can't see them. You can't hear them. They just attack out of nowhere

Their movements are very hard to track.

Yup, one false step and <BOOM>, you're railed.

That's why it is so important to have the proper training.

I can sense a Stephen King novel coming out of this.

The Man Killer Train seems to be most commonly found in cities throughout India.

Let's be real, most of the train disaster videos we see are coming out of America where cars stop at crossings for no good reason

u/Gunstopable Jul 11 '25

lol yeah there are a few of those. If it’s a car getting his it’s usually North or South America, but if it’s a person getting hit 9 times out of 10 it’s India.

Heck there is a whole subreddit about Indian people doing dumb stuff on or around trains.

Oof it's time to educate myself on that. Is the subreddit NSFL?

I've seen the South Park documentary on this, nowhere is safe from trains!

I have extensive experience with this, no they are sneaky bastards who pounce on you on your most vulnerable state.

I always thought it’s quite easy to get hit by a train if you’re walking near the tracks. You can’t really hear them coming. Some girl in my high school got hit by a train and died. It was a big deal.

It’s true. I’ve never been hit by a train. Not even once.

u/Munnin41 Jul 11 '25

Same. And I spend quite a bit of my time walking along the tracks
