Railroad Tracks of Doom	comment	Any time you see railroad tracks on television, a train will appear, usually while central characters are walking across it or, even better, when for some reason or another they're stuck on the tracks. The train itself will always show up whenever it's least convenient, no matter how long the wait or what the schedule says, it's always running on-time to nearly kill you. Of course, the key word back there is "nearly"- while this kind of thing would seem to be a high risk endeavor, usually, one way or another, they manage to get off the tracks in time. Bear in mind that it is very, very rare for someone's life to be saved because the train actually stops. This is Truth in Television, depending on setting, and also speed, as braking distance is proportional to the square of the speed. A bullet train can take up to 4 km to come to a full stop, while slow subway or light rail might be able to stop in 50 meters, but don't count on it. May be inversely linked to the prevalence of rail as a viable mode of transportation in a given country; in Japan, for example, train tracks are only rarely portrayed as something people would be stupid enough to dally upon, unless they are deliberately Tempting Fate, or else trying to save someone else who has fallen onto the tracks. See Chained to a Railway for when this is done deliberately as opposed to being the result of wrong place, wrong time. May involve 1-Dimensional Thinking on part of the escaping individuals. Also see Track Trouble, where the tracks are dangerous because they are damaged. Compare Train Stopping and Look Both Ways (for instances involving non-rail land vehicles).

Railroad Tracks of Doom / int_10550610	comment	Happy Days: Combined with Beware of Hitchhiking Ghosts in the episode "The Spirit Is Willing," which aired toward the end of the last season. Fonzie, who is restoring a 1954 Chevrolet convertible, is test-driving the newly-refurbished wheels with his ghostly friend, Nancy, when the car stalls in the middle of a railroad crossing. When the signal lights come on, Fonzie tries to escape the car but finds himself locked in with Nancy holding him back until the train strikes the car ... but at the last instant, Fonzie awakens and realizes he was having a nightmare.

Railroad Tracks of Doom / int_141a7410	comment	During the title card for each Over the Garden Wall episode, the sound of a distant train whistle can be heard and the silhouette of a train is seen. Once episode nine, "Into the Unknown" starts the audience learns this is because when Wirt and Greg went over the cemetery wall, they landed on train tracks where an oncoming train fast approaches. The brothers narrowly avoid getting hit, but fall down a hill and into a lake when jumping off the tracks, where they lose consciousness and almost drown. For even more emphasis, an updated cover of a Woody Guthrie song called "Old Black Train", which has many metaphors and allusions to death, plays as the boys tumble down the hill.

Railroad Tracks of Doom / int_20c944b1	comment	Last Clear Chance: A 1959 driver's education film, financed by Union Pacific Railroad, depicting the dangers posed by railroad tracks and what happens if drivers fail to pay attention or heed basic safety rules near tracks. The movie's grim ending â€“ a young man being killed and his fiancÃ© (presumably) mortally injured but initially surviving, after waving back at the young man's younger brother and unaware the car the young couple is in is about to be struck by a train â€“ and two rail workers observing, "Why don't they pay attention?" would become much maligned by critics and would be ridiculed in the television series Mystery Science Theater 3000. However, the film itself was praised by many other critics who lauded the film's sobering message about driver safety, especially around railroad crossings.

Railroad Tracks of Doom / int_231e9e7a	comment	A recent Today report discussed the growing trend of people taking pictures on railroad tracks. Nearly 600 people have been struck, more than half of whom have died. All because they have wrongly assumed that will see and hear a train with plenty of time to get off the track before it hits them. As it turns out, trains are surprisingly quiet, often not audible until they are right next to you (at which point it is far too late to jump to safety), and they move incredibly fast, covering the length of a football field in three seconds. This is hauntingly demonstrated in one of the pictures shown, in which three teenage girls are posing. Visible in the background are the headlights of an oncoming train, which the girls are clearly blissfully unaware of, given their happy expressions. Within seconds of the photo taken, they were struck and killed.

Railroad Tracks of Doom / int_23945975	comment	Pops up a few times in Disney Animated Canon: The Aristocats: The cats are crossing a railroad trestle when the kittens pause to play at being a train themselves. Toulouse imitates a train whistle...and is followed by a real one right behind him. The group jump under the tracks onto the bridge beams for safety, but one of them falls into the river, and has to be rescued by O'Malley. Happens to Sykes at the end of Oliver & Company on the New York subway. First his pet Dobermans are electrocuted on the third rail, and then his car runs into a train going the other way. In Disney's The Fox and the Hound, Chief chases Tod the fox onto a set of nearby railroad tracks, and then they begin to cross a trestle. As their luck would have it, a high-speed train comes barreling towards them. Tod is able to duck underneath the rails and let the train harmlessly pass over him, but the locomotive knocks Chief off the trestle, causing him to fall to the rocky river below with a broken leg. Chief was actually supposed to die this way, making Copper's revenge against Tod more extreme, but Disney thought this would've been too over-the-top and intense.

Peter goes into the tunnel to retrieve the titular box which emits a Brown Note that kills anyone who hears it. Peter is temporarily deafened by having Olivia (actually her doppelganger from an Alternate Universe, long story) fire her gun close to his ears to protect him from the sound. He's able to silence the box but is unable to hear the approaching subway train, forcing Olivia to run into the tunnel and pull him to safety.

Railroad Tracks of Doom / int_2bbcacd9	comment	A common gag in the Road Runner shorts in the Looney Tunes is for Wile E. Coyote to paint a tunnel complete with railroad tracks in it. The Road Runner goes in unscathed - but Wile E. Coyote is promptly run over by an impromptu train. Of course, this use of the trope is so amusingly illogical that it goes straight through Fridge Logic and into Rule of Funny. One variation is Wile E. building a fake railroad crossing to stop the Road Runner. Unfortunately, no one told the train. Wile E. fell victim to another train in his pairing with Bugs Bunny in "Operation: Rabbit." The coyote has taken refuge in an explosives shack where he was filling carrots with nitroglycerin, when Bugs chains the building to a tractor and pulls it onto a railroad crossing. Just as Wile E. is admiring himself ("Wile E. Coyote, super genius! I like the way that rolls out: Wile E. Coyote. Suuuppper geeennnius"), he hears a train whistle and looks out the window... In Bosko and Bruno, Bruno gets his foot caught in a railroad track and apparently is run over, but survives by ducking into a convenient trap door. In The Duxorcist, at one point, Daffy tries to get a glass out of a cupboard. Since the apartment he's visiting is haunted, the cupboard can't supply him, but instead, provides him with live action footage of a train coming towards the camera. He closes the cupboard in time before the train bursts out. In "Bugs and Thugs", Bugs is held captive by Rocky and Mugsy. When they approach a railroad track with a sign flashing, Rocky makes Bugs get out of the car and check to see of the tracks are clear. Bugs lies and says it's ok to go. When they try the cross the tracks, a train comes and hits them. Rocky and Mugsy get the last laugh, however. They make Bugs repair the car, and then substitute for a missing tire.

In "Conrail Train", brothers Todd and Scott are playing with their toy cars and trucks alongside an active railway, when a train approaches. Despite the blaring of its horn and application of emergency brakes, Scott is struck in the head by the train's snowplow and thought to have been killed, but miraculously survives.

The trope kicks into effect when the robbers â€“ realizing that Bo and Luke will come after them â€“ plans to kidnap the Duke boys, restrain them inside the car and then crash the car into the train. (Boss, knowing what this means, immediately turns against his associates when they refuse to back down. And of course, the Duke boys do manage to regain control of the car and eventually defeat the bad guys.)

Unless the player knows this is coming and plans accordingly, the only option is to drive towards the train at top speed or perform a skid turn and drive the other way at top speed in hopes of making it off the bridge in time. Gordon also has two near encounters with trains in the first two chapters of the game while being pursued by Combine troops. There's a third (not long after the second, at the beginning of "Route Kanal") that will always miss the player, but serves to sweep away the remaining Lemming Cops who might be in pursuit.

Railroad Tracks of Doom / int_49ad83ee	comment	In World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor, one of the bosses in the Blackrock Foundry is Operator Thogar, head of the Iron Horde's rail network. Logically enough his arena is an active railway terminal that includes four tracks; players have to learn the pattern of incoming trains and dodge them, since being hit is instant death on most difficulty levels (Thogar himself is Friendly Fireproof). To make matters worse, some of them are troop or artillery trains with reinforcements.

Scratch ignores him and the two robots race across the bridge. They only get halfway across the bridge as the train approaches it, but jump off before the train can run them over. Sonic advises the viewers against taking dares like these. In "Full Tilt Tails", the deuteragonist Tails wants to race a train, but he gets his foot caught in the train tracks as the train is barreling towards him! Luckily, Sonic quickly builds a new set of train tracks over Tails so the train avoids him altogether.

He's in luck since the car's wheels are the exact same gauge of the track the train he is chasing is on; so he proceeds to move the car on to the track and drive on the set of rails next to the escaping train's. Some skidding later, he's making good progress when another train is rushing right at him, so he wisely hops off whilst the Merc gets ploughed right through by the train.

Although no sounds of an approaching train were heard, Storm does take Mickie's phone to call Magnus (with whom James was involved) and tells him, "Mickie won't be home for dinner." As James was set to leave TNA following this angle, the implication was that Storm had killed her, which did not set well with fans. TNA had to invite James to return, creating a storyline where she wanted revenge ... and got it when she pinned Storm's valet, Serena, in an intergender match.

Railroad Tracks of Doom / int_90b916ba	comment	Batman: The Animated Series: In "The Underdwellers", Batman is pursuing the Sewer King, a Fagin-esque slave driver who's forced Gotham's young runaways to work for him, when the subway train comes along. In spite of the fact Batman is thoroughly disgusted with what the Sewer King did, he saves him—but then makes it abundantly clear he was sorely tempted to kill the man. In "It's Never Too Late", the brother of a boy who grew up to be one of Gotham's top mob bosses lost his leg when his foot got caught in the rails of a train track at the wrong time. Said brother grew up to become a priest and convinced his mob brother in the present day to finally turn himself into the police so he could begin the atoning for the crimes and guilt he'd built up over the years. In "Appointment in Crime Alley", a trolley loses its brakes as Batman is trying to rush to Crime Alley to stop a section of it from being demolished by Roland Daggett, especially since his friend Dr. Leslie Thompkins is trapped in that area. Batman has to use The Batmobile to stop the trolley before it can careen into a crowded intersection, forcing him to run on foot the rest of the way. In "The Cape and Cowl Conspiracy", Josiah Wormwood is hired to steal Batman's cape and cowl. His first act is to lure Batman to an old railroad museum, where an active locomotive is set to run over an innocent woman unless Batman hands over his cape and cowl. Batman manages to get out of the engine and narrowly grab the woman before the train hits her... except she's a hologram! Wormwood apparently wouldn't dare resort to such tactics, but the locomotive isn't so lucky when it hits the end of track bumper and derails. In "What Is Reality?", Batman is forced to enter a Virtual Reality machine set up by The Riddler in order to rescue Commissioner Gordon. When attacked by the forces guarding Gordon's location, Batman finds a door marked "Crazy Intention", which Robin warns not to open because it also means "Loco Motive". Cue the train barreling down the virtual goons, which, knowing Batman, he intended to let happen.

At first he thinks it's just because of himâ€”but quickly discovers that he coincidentally landed on the tracks at the exact same time as a freight train shows up. Marty gets out in the nick of time. The DeLorean winds up getting totaled, somehow following Doc Brown's request.

But the bus ends up stalling on a railroad crossing just as a speeding train is approaching, driven by the Red Guy with No Pants (in the role of Casey Clearbottom) and hauling freight cars loaded with Chemical X. Fortunately, Cow changes into her Super Cow alter-ego and saves everyone from the bus, right before the train hits it, causing the bus to violently explode and the entire train to derail, much to the Red Guy's amusement.

Railroad Tracks of Doom / int_bb7a951b	comment	Subverted in the movie October Sky: The boys rip up the tracks of a supposedly-abandoned spur line to sell the iron for scrap. One of the boys lampshades this trope, asking if the the tracks really are unused. Sure enough, the moment they've got the heavy rail fully out of alignment, they hear a whistle... Frantically, they try to get the rail back in place, seemingly to no avail as the locomotive bears down on them... Then at the last moment, the train turns away down the main line; and the camera pulls back to reveal that the line they tore up was inactive. As the train passes, the engineer gives them a wave and a confused look. For just this reason, it is illegal for US scrapyards to accept railroad ties, spikes, rails or any other part of the track. Probably wasn't the case back then though as the film takes place in the late 1950s.

In "Mine Your Own Business," Fred comes up with a plan to catch and trap the ghostly Miner '49er haunting the Abandoned Mine. We then fade to the Miner suddenly seeing and hearing what seems like a train approaching, only it turns out to actually be Shaggy making train noises into a speaker as Scooby runs down the track with a flashlight. In "Decoy for a Dognapper," Scooby is sent on an old handcar down railroad tracks by the dognappers, but the gang arrives in time to save him. After Shaggy jumps onto the handcar, the train goes onto a trestle, and the two have to outrun an approaching speeding train (resembling an older Santa Fe passenger train). Fortunately, Fred comes to the rescue by throwing a switch track. In "Foul Play in Funland", when a bumper car driven by Velma and Scooby goes out of control when they are chased by Charlie the robot, especially when she loses her glasses, they end up driving towards a train crossing, with a train approaching. Velma and Scooby make it through the crossing in time, but the train hits Charlie, but no harm is done to him because he is a robot, and he just lands in one of the cars.

Railroad Tracks of Doom / int_d8c2cfe4	comment	Played with in Ant-Man. While miniaturized Yellowjacket ends up on the tracks of a toy railroad and stands there as a Thomas & Friends toy train barrels straight at him. However, when the train hits, it is a complete No-Sell since the miniaturization process preserves the subjects density. The effect is the same as if a toy train hit a full sized human and the train just bounces off.

It turns out to be a kid from the late 80s, who picked exactly the wrong time to spraypaint "Be Excellent to Each Other" on the sidings. Seeing him re-enact what happened next convinces Abigail to stop looking for the Hogwarts Express down there.

Tigerheart and his family are staying close to the tracks to find their way home, when one day the kits are playing on the tracks and an unusually fast train comes. Spire saves Lightkit by dragging her out of the way just in time, and warns Tigerheart that they need to leave the tracks or death will come - "Death too quickly. Death without meaning."

Railroad Tracks of Doom / int_df76da7e	comment	Mirror's Edge has a level that takes place (partially) in a subway and another that starts near some train tracks. Both levels require you to run down these tracks, and one actually requires you to jump on top of a train. The train is lethal if it hits you, but if you time it right, you can actually get clear of the trains without one coming along.

Railroad Tracks of Doom / int_f6e2c23d	comment	A good way to get to many places in EarthBound Beginnings is by following the train tracks. Thankfully trains will not come by and hit you but the enemies are much, much stronger especially in the tunnel areas. After the time skip in Mother 3 there is a train that goes from the center of Tasmily to a newly build factory. The first few times you attempt to walk along the tracks a NPC looking strongly like Mr. T stops you warning you that it is a stupid idea and not to throw you life away when he walks away the dialog box then comments your life was saved. Once you seem to frustrate him to point he doesn't bother anymore you can pass through, but unlike EarthBound Beginnings there is a train and it will hit (but not kill) you. When you wake up the Mr. T look alike will be there to tell you I told ya so.
