I thought of a new game
You are driving to work when you get stopped by a train. (yeah, right)
As you are waiting for the train to go by, you suddenly see a slight amount of smoke coming from the wheel of a car loaded with lumber. The car has a "hot box" and the train is going 35MPH and that section of track has no defect detector.
What do you do?

Worst Case Scenario-Hotbox
One can make a mistake and own up to it, but still feel guilty.

You drive onto the railroad's MOW, screaming like a madman that the train has a hotbox, and attempt to spit at it to cool it down. Then you ask why the train in the picture has a 3rd rail on it.
Then again, i might go with Gregg's suggestion

You plant a bomb to blow up the car pricesly 500 ft down the ROW, and then to make sure park you car on the tracks at the next road crossing . When they stop say you just wanted to take a photo.

Jump out of your vehicle and grab the hand rail of one of the cars and with your mighty super powers bring the train to a gradual and slow stop. Then go get some chicks and party cause you're a hero

jump on the ROW with your car set the cruse at 35 then strap down the steering wheel, Get out on the roof of your car and cut the bands on the lumber so that it all falls down and saves the lumber, the railroad will write it off then take all the free lumber you want.
