  Oh, they steal a train, they get the medal. I steal a train, I get five stars.

  Fuller is the ancestor to the security guard from Subway Surfers

  You have to respect Fuller&apos;s determination. Come hell or high water, he was going to get that train.

  All ya all gonna say how Loony Toon the conductor was, going after the train.... But y&apos;all not considering that it was HIS Train! The conductor isn&apos;t just some oldy-timie steward. Conductors are THE BOSS on the train. Not the train engineer, they&apos;re just the operator of the locomotive.<br><br>So the hijacked train was a PERSONAL insult.

  Fuller better have gotten an employee of the month or something because he was one dedicated conductor.

  The Buster Keaton movie is also really impressive because a lot of those stunts are real. That movie also contains the most expensive shot in film history: when a bridge collapses with a train driving overtop, they actually destroyed a steam locomotive to get the most realistic &quot;trainwreck&quot;. The dedication!!

  Okay, this one could have been a comedy thanks to that tenacious train conducter!<br>The ending was somber though.

  I&apos;m guessing I&apos;m not the only person who saw that title and had high/middle school band flashbacks.
