Only Sane Man | |
Runaway / int_24321e44 | comment |
Only Sane Man: The Fireman is the only person who is aware of the train going out of control and he's the only one who's trying to prevent the train from crashing. The rich lady is also this to a lesser extent. | |

Aristocrats Are Evil | |
Runaway / int_96144372 | comment |
Aristocrats Are Evil: The rich passengers pay the poor passengers to give up all their belongings as fuel to stoke the engine and keep the train from falling off the broken bridge. And how do they repay them? By detaching their car and letting them slide down the cliff. And taking the money back while they're at it. | |

Rail-Car Separation | |
Runaway / int_9c45c83 | comment |
Rail-Car Separation: First the caboose breaks away, taking all the engineers except the captain and the fireman with it. Then, after the car with the poor people is stripped bare to provide fuel for the engine, the rich detach it, leaving the poor passengers to their fate. | |

Mister Muffykins: The Rich Lady's dog is a yappy, annoying little thing. It biting the Captain is what sets the plot in motion. | |

Billions of Buttons | |
Runaway / int_f3a8ec93 | comment |
Billions of Buttons: The engine has thousands of levers and dials, as can be seen in the page image. It makes it that much harder for the fireman to take back control of the train. | |
