Here's a short video from Latvia showing why you shouldn't treat railway lines as a playground.

#MetroTrains

@fakemetrotrains Aus dem Stoff sind Kinder-Albträume gemacht.
@fakemetrotrains Honestly, I don't think this would really happen. I think it's a fake.
@StarkRG @fakemetrotrains as a Latvian I can confirm that people getting chased though the streets by trains is a big issue here
@fakemetrotrains @jpm only put pennies and small rocks on train tracks, got it

@fakemetrotrains

The hardest part of the "flatten metal" (coin or other things) was to find it after it was struck by a train and bounced in any random direction.

@fakemetrotrains
I think this video has the opposite effect on me.
Clearly, manipulating railway lines is fun and safe...
@fakemetrotrains “But if you derail me, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.”

“So here’s what I envision: Think ‘Taken,’ but in the role of Liam Neeson we have a trolly engine.”

@patrickgillam @fakemetrotrains I’d watch it — plus the eventual sequels and maybe the prequel, too.

@caramelbeard @fakemetrotrains

When you’re ready to draft a dark reboot of “Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends,” hit me up.

@patrickgillam @fakemetrotrains I’m a fan of the working title “Thomas the Pain Engine”
@fakemetrotrains Best horror movie I've seen in 2023.

@fakemetrotrains Awesome

Je pense que ça va t'intéresser @El_Madkiller57

@fakemetrotrains "What now" if a beautiful ending.

Also, if i squint enough, i can read and almost understand that.

@fakemetrotrains @getalifemike At least I won’t play around trains in Latvia. They are relentless!
@fakemetrotrains
I like this one a lot. A bit comical but still gets the point across.
@fakemetrotrains @wingo we used to do that as kids. We stopped doing it when our dog ran into the train wheels and was cut in half.
@Migueldeicaza @fakemetrotrains is… is that a real story??
@wingo @fakemetrotrains yes. Her name was Blanca. Sister ran to mom yelling “a tragedy happened”, mom thought I had an accident, came rushing furious. I couldn’t understand
@Migueldeicaza @fakemetrotrains gosh. sympathies, from across the years

@Migueldeicaza @fakemetrotrains @wingo I used to do that too. And I wrote a short story about it

Mateo 6:26

Colocábamos monedas de cien pesos sobre las vías del tren para que éste, al pasar, las aplanara. El rostro de …

mi blag
@fakemetrotrains we did the thing with the penny as kids, too :/
@benni @fakemetrotrains we didn’t, we knew they were dangerous.

@fakemetrotrains this is sooo cute I'm gonna dieee
@fakemetrotrains Playing on the railway will replace cars with trains, which is more ecological :3c
@fakemetrotrains Latvian train physics, noted.
Should mention: Irish train physics are:
Timetable? Lmao we just appear.

@fakemetrotrains this is what peak transit looks like.
@fakemetrotrains Steven Spielberg's DUEL (1971), Latvian tram edition.
@fakemetrotrains I'm so disappointed the ending was not the conductor slapping the kid really hard, once.

@fakemetrotrains
