I was thinking "Oh wow the GO train, that's probably Toronto in the background"
and then I saw the CN Tower and I was like "Hey that IS Toronto" lol

That's one way to stop a train

Hey the GO Train, I've probably taken that line once or twice, and she's never been there. Great work

Sorry to bust your bubble, but she is going to be dead. A GP40-2W(250,000 lbs) and 10 Bombardier cars(110,000 lbs each), without trying to factor in passenger weight, is 1,350,000 lbs. She's 43 feet and 6.5 inches tall and weighs maybe 31,346 kgs (had to use several standard measurements that may or may not be accurate). A normal spine is fractured at 3000 newtons, and she's 9.25 times taller than the average woman, so her spine should be able to withstand about 27,743 newtons of force (or an object with 27,743 kgm/s of momentum). Now, she's about 1500 ft west of the GO Danforth station, so the train would probably be going about 25 mph and the train's momentum would then be 6,843,620.25 kgm/s. If the tracks weren't broken, the train would continue forward at 22.5 mph, and she would be catapulted forward at ~47.5 mph. And even with the tracks broken, she's not going to be walking away from this.

Thanks. I think the train will definitely come up as the loser here.

Great touch with the torn up track.

Thanks. I figure she was doing something just sitting there on the track, so why not rip up the steel rails and twist them into pretzels....
