    Yeah that other train passed and did not give a fuck. I have a feeling that those levels of trains are more fire resistant than in movies. Still get out of there asap, but flames still take a while to heat giant metal industrial vehicles up.

      That other train that passed had a clear track, and they were waiting their turn on a side rail to use the track the other train was coming the opposite way on. Many many places only have one set of rails, there ain’t two-way traffic everywhere. You probably don’t want two million-ton vehicles to smash into each other in the middle of a wildfire.
