That’s a lot of planning, and effort though. Essentially you’re saying this villain, which would realistically need to be a team effort, would need to subdue, or more realistically kill every depot worker at the same time so that no calls for help to local authorities can go out. Now maybe the 4 tied up people ARE depot workers. That would be plausible if he only subdued them.
Then, once there is no opposition to hinder his plans to modify the trains brake lines, you would have to know ahead of time which model this trolley is. A lot of newer models have a feature where the brakeline is technically always active, just not engaged. Once you clip the brakes, it would snap shut. So right off the bat, you need to make sure it’s an older model. Which, would be older then about 20 years old. I know that sounds like you wouldn’t find any that old, but you’d be surprised. 20 year old rail system is actually very modern. In Cleveland we use a light rail system. It’s not a true trolley, but it’s similar. The ones on our tracks were first made operational in the 1960s. BUT! Ours are based on electricity which hang from a power supply line that runs above the track. So if you were to cut that, yes you’d cut the brake, but you’d also cut the ability to drive. And since our depot yard isn’t near any hills, you’d just sit there.
Essentially what you’re suggesting at that point, is a terrorist attack, which even if you did the months/years of planning to make everything carry out in oceans 11 style heist, you’re still talking about killing 10-40 people to set up a situation where the sole purpose is to endanger either 1 or 3 peoples lives. All just to make one person feel guilty for “killing”.
And I’m not even going to ATTEMPT to go into how even after all that, the psychological “victim” may not even give a shit, so the whole thing was for nothing.
A trolley would be an intercity transportation system, and thus the only place it would have reason to have a switch would be at the depot yard, which would also have other workers there at all working hours. Some would even be 24/7.
Furthermore, a trolley wouldn’t have the same problem a train would, in that it CAN stop on a dime. See my whole thing when this was a train, and I’m standing at the switch, was that I know there would be a posted emergancy number that reaches dispatch directly. THIS is the number you need to call in the event of an emergancy. Not the cops. Not the train company. You need the emergancy number posted at every switch and railroad crossing. They are in communication with the train 24/7, and can stop a train faster. Not instantly, but as fast to instantly as possible within the limitations of momentum.
Whereas a trolley would not have these issues. They travel at city speeds at a drastic fraction of the weight. They can stop closer to the reaction time a bus would. And they’d still have brakes, although the mandating body on this would vary from state to state, with Ohio being the Ohio Highway Department of Transportation.
So at the depot yard they wouldn’t even be traveling at city speeds. They’d be going more like 5mph like you would in a parting lot, vs a road.
Three bodies on the lower track, one body on the upper track. Which one do you hit?
I got in trouble when I said “the bakes”. Then the teacher said "there’s no brakes. So I said “yes there is. The federal railroad administration would not saction a train to be operational on their tracks without safety proceedures.”
Not my fault I grew up loving trains…
Oh shoot…I missed it. I DVR’d the election results, and never got around to watching it. Don’t tell me! No spoilers! I want to see if it we finally elect our first black president. It’s Obama vs McCain.
…also, I’ve been in a coma for a while. 2024, huh? Do we have flying cars yet?
Because we’re Americans. Ignorant is kind of our power play! We’ll angrily defend a position we know nothing about, and then call YOU wrong for being well versed on the matter.
Why are you holding my birth certificate???
One time I had a candle lit, and my cat was on the floor looking at it with those eyes. You know the ones. The eyes that IMMEDIATELY give away that she’s thinking about doing something bad. I was in the kitchen, but the way the walls are cut out you can see this ledge of the kitchen from the living room.
So the candle is on the ledge, and I’m thinking “she’s going to try to knock the candle to the floor, and set the whole house on fire!!!”
So I grabbed two pans and started banging them together while running at her, and yelling HEY SPEED!!! YOU SEE ME SPEED!!! HEEEYYYY SPEEEED!!! SPEED SPEED SPEED!!! all while banging a frying pan against a pot. Basically just making scary loud noises. And I did this for 10 minutes. It made her afraid of candles. Which is fine. I never had my house set on fire.
…wait, what? You’re pooping so much you’re losing FAT? Like, I’ve heard that sometimes people get backed up, and it’s extra weight. But the weight is still fecies. Elvis was said to have had over 25lbs of backed up fecies inside him when he died.
But you’re saying you’re pooping so much that your body is burning fat??? Thst’s…that equally impressive as it is worrying. How hard are you pushing??? God damn!!!
What if I’m both? I love Mike Tyson, and can’t stand the paul brothers.
I get the first one…no idea what the second references. It sounds like if something from transformers were crossed with the matrix, and handled by santa claus.
Which if that existed sounds kind of terrifying.
…wait, but I wasn’t playing socom…
Ah, a history joke! Don’t forget Coke(Fanta)! Also, the history of Volkswagon is pretty interesting.
The surprising part is, despite everything Henry Ford believed, I don’t remember ever hearing Ford being on that list.
Is it bad that for a brief moment when you said you were switching to a local fiber provider, I thought you were talking about making sure you tdke healthy poops?
Takes sunzu2 to the farm, and hooks them up to the milking machine
…what? I can’t kill you for meat. Nobody eats human meat. But I can milk ya!
Always have been.

Oh, irony!
Ohhhhh…please don’t teach your cats that washers/driers are fun kitty hangouts. You have orange cats, and it’s especially true for black cats, but any cat can get acceidently not seen. Then you close the washer, turn it on, and THEN the cat starts making noise. Except, the foor is locked, and filling with water. Even assuming you know which breaker to flip, or even if you just flip the main switch and cut power to the whole house, it still won’t unlock the door. And there’s still water in there. Hopefully you caught it before there’s enough water to drown the cat. Still though, even if it’s only belly high, cats still hate that. Plus now there’s soap all over her, and you’ll need to give her an actual bath, so she isn’t licking soap, or worse, bleach, off her cat hair.
My grandma had a story about how my dad killed a cat in the 60s just by turning on the drier. My dad REFUSED to get a cat my whole childhood because of it. And I love cats. He was afraid I’d kill it. He also refused to let me do laundry.
Stop! Please! I can only get SO erect!
Does this have hall sticks?
