I'm a white man and this never happens to me. In fact, I've had doctors ask ME to interpret test results for them. (VA Doctors, but still technically a doctor I guess...) I go to the doctor with my partner and this happens to her every single time. She has a doctorate and is a medical researcher. I went to motorcycle school.

TRAIN FACT: The Indian Train is the most successful predator on earth. If you’re in India, you’re never truly safe from being ambushed by an Indian Train.

TRAIN FACT: Although we have seemingly domesticated many trains, allowing for us to utilise them for transport, they are only partially domesticated, and still view us as food.

What about some wet leaves on the track on a sharp turn?

Incorrect. I used to deploy portable derailers in a previous job. We used them to protect track equipment and personnel from rogue trains.

IT WAS ME, I WAS THE APEX PREDATOR!
