Did the train cross a time zone?
Does this involve a change to or from Daylight Saving Time?
Is this fiction?
If so, is time travel/warp speed/etc. involved?
Is the nature of the work equipment relevant?
Was it a really, really, reaaaaally long train?
NO
NO to both.
NO to both.
I’d say YES. I mean, kind of, anyway.
NO
Was the equipment or the wagon with the equipment separated from the rest of the train somehow?
Can regular-sized people ride on this train?
Was this a reduced scale train, such as a model or toy?
Was the equipment bigger than a bread box?
Was the train travelling under its own power, on a railway?
Was it being transported by another vehicle?
NO
kk
Was the equipment…
Industrial (as in, machinery for a factory)?
Other vehicles?
Electronics?
Something to do with trains?
Weapons?
People?
Animals?
They put different things on the train at different times. This is not a one-time incident and the train carries many different things. I would say that the things that go on this train are possibly:
electronic-related
machine-related
But NO to most of the categories above.
Was this in Florida?
You describe the train as one of the fastest ever built.
Is its top speed greater than 100 miles per hour?
10 miles per hour?
1 mile per hour?
Was the equipment somehow responsible for the train arriving late?
Did the train take the wrong route?
Was the route really curvy, like in alpine mountains?
Was the train malfunctioning?
Did it need to be dragged by animals?
NO
YES to all. Faster than 100 MPH.
NO to both.
Was the train going at standard speed?
Was the thing that made it take this long the rails?
kk
Is the route distance relevant?
Was the equipment loaded correctly? (Anchored down, strapped, etc.)
Did the equipment arrive the same time as the train?
Was there more than one trip?
Was the train on a barge?
So, I work in Bayonne, NJ and looked out the window while waiting for a meeting to start when I noticed some train cars being barged across the bay.
“Well, that’s not something you see everyday.” says I
“You mean, the rail barge that takes rail cars from Brooklyn to Jersey City? The one that runs every single day?” says my coworker.
“Yes, that’s the one.”
