    If you’re not, it’s the guy killing a million people a couple of iterations later

    I feel like running over all those bodies would make the train come to a stop way before it ran over a million people.

    Now I sit back and wait for some morbid soul who is better at math and physics than me to figure out the answer.

      I mean if you’re going fast enough with a pointy train, you could chop up people pretty easy. You just need to make sure that each person is a tire width apart to make sure the wheels don’t lose traction. Assuming a person is roughly half a metre across and a tire is 75cm in diameter, we get 1.25m per person, so a track of 1250km for a million people. Not very long at all.
