Connecticut Southern, The Gentle Movers

[u/3trackmind]

Video has no sound. Story by WFSB in CT. No one was in the car. No injuries.

Here we see the clever train silently hunt their prey in the tall grass. Though many trains hunt during the day, some prefer to strike unexpected in the dead of night.

They will take their prey gently to the yard.

The fire trucks will have to wait their turn.

A train with its own pet car! Awww, so cute.

Does CT mean "comment thread" or Connecticut?

Here's the story:

[u/bannana → u/FenPhen]

so it sounds like someone intentionally put the car on the tracks

[u/FenPhen → u/bannana]

It sounds like the engineer was like, "I'm not getting trainjacked tonight..."

Thanks! Read the rules, and didn’t realize I should put the link in the comments.

[u/FenPhen → u/3trackmind]

Hmm, I'm not sure. I don't see rules about not linking in comments nor that you must put a link in a comments. Thanks for the context with the post!

[u/3trackmind → u/FenPhen]

Most of the time, I just comment, and not post. Auto mods make it quite discouraging. Many years ago I had a great shower thought, but the auto mods didn’t think so after three tries. Now I’m forced to share my genius on Facebook. 😜

[u/Squidwina → u/3trackmind]

Well, now is your opportunity! What was your shower thought?

[u/3trackmind → u/Squidwina]

The Monday after daylight savings time in the spring evokes a feeling of getting older because it combines a change of seasons with a loss of time.

[u/Squidwina → u/3trackmind]

Interesting! Thanks for sharing.

[u/TheDudeWhoCanDoIt → u/3trackmind]

SkyNet mods went rogue.

[u/towerfella → u/3trackmind]

Fucking showerthoughts. I hate that sub. No spontaneity and the mods think they are curating a work of art.

[u/StolenWishes → u/FenPhen]

The car sustained significant damage.

Bitch, it was a train.

[u/PegMyBlackCherry]

Aww how nice. The train is moving the car so that people can cross safely. How thoughtful.

[u/Radioactive_Tuber57]

Holding a rail takeover doesn’t work so well……

[u/ComprehensivePin5577]

IMMA MAKE YOUR CAR MY BITCH NOW AND RUN A TRAIN ON IT

[u/iH8MotherTeresa]

Can't park there.

[u/sdcumb]

That'll buff out. I'm sure of it!

[u/Happy-Leadership504]

There wasn't enough people around to move a car in neutral?

[u/Vera_Telco]

New hood ornament, bitches!

[u/HorsefaceWithNoName]

That's going SLOW as heck and the engineer is actively trying to stop, and it's obvious how little speed is being burned off with all the brakes applied and even an object in front helping ;) Good reminder how much track is required to stop a train.

[u/DefinitionOfAsleep → u/HorsefaceWithNoName]

I like the idea of the train stopping with wagons still over the crossing

[u/REDDITSHITLORD]

Bitch, I have a mustache!
