That train will just keep coming. Once such a freight train is going you better get out of the way. The amount of kinetic energy that’s coming towards you is dwarfing compared to a measly tank.
this sub doesn’t exist on Lemmy :(

Sorry for Reddit watermark… couldn’t quickly find it elsewhere.
that is literally the worst watermark I’ve ever seen in my entire time on the internet, more than a quarter century now.
For your consideration, the Calvin and Hobbes Search Engine: https://michaelyingling.com/random/calvin_and_hobbes/
Edit to show example search for “freight train”: https://michaelyingling.com/random/calvin_and_hobbes/search.php?phrase=freight+train
I didn’t make this site, I just find it to be very useful for this extremely niche use case 🤣 Although, weirdly, it seems to be linking the wrong strip for this particular one. Dunno why, I’ve never seen it do that before.
South Carolina in September. Low-slung trailer got stuck at the crossing and the driver skedaddled right before the impact. Also, ever so sadly, it doesn’t officially count as a tank, only self-propelled artillery.
Kinda looks like an M1A1 Abrams to me
That is 100 percent a pally. Abrams don’t have rear doors.
Nah, it’s got that extra flat butt and long overhang with the basket thing on the back of the turret. The news report also said it’s a Paladin, though this video is also showing off midsize-market local American news, so I wouldn’t have trusted it on its own.
Why don’t we use trains on battlefields? (I see no issues with this plan)
Who wants a pretzel?
We ironed up the boats too, steam engine warfare was kinda cool ngl
Well that’s an M109 Paladin. It weighs about half as much as an actual tank. But if it was fully loaded there’s a pretty good chance nobody wins because it’s an artillery system and it carries a lot of stuff that goes boom.
I don’t care to speculate on who wins between a 70 ton tank and a train. It probably depends on what the train is pulling.
Edit to add - also we need pictures from different angles. From this angle it looks like the Paladin might have simply been de-tracked. But I’m pretty sure there’s more damage as it’s armor is actually comparatively light, rated for small arms and shrapnel.
Considering tanks are transported by train, not surprising. Train big.
Isn’t that a self-propelled artillery piece? I wanna say like an M109 or something

Attention dispatch… There has been a mass shooting at the site of the Tank Train collision, but thankfully all victims have successfully had their medical claims for woundcare denied. Time to go home…
Top Gun theme blares as the Police Mustang drives off into the sunset. And… scene.
Worthy of a South Park bit
It looks like the tank returned fire.
