How did Superman Do it?

If you're standing on the commuter train (pendeltåg) platform (spår) and the marque says "se upp för passerande tåg" which means the next train is coming by really really fast and if you aren't where you're supposed to be you will die. Whne this train does whiz by, the ground shakes and you remember the Doppler effect. You can feel the giga mega zillion units of momentum (mass times distance divided by speed, kg x m/s). As the photo shows, the speed tops out at over 200 kilometers an hour, about 125 mph. I wonder how Superman could be more powerful than a locomotive. I can easy beleive he was faster than a speeding bullet and able to leap tall buildings, but being more powerful than the Arlanda Express is just too hard to believe.


America should have more mass transportation but I honestly don't know how we'd idiot-proof the stations. There are no fences to prevent idiots from jumping on the tracks or drunks falling on them. In America, idiots and drunks win multi-million dollar lawsuits killing good ideas senselessly and encouraging even more people to become lawyers.

Yes, occasionally a person is killed in Sweden by a train or subway - usually a drunk person or a suicidal person. However, nobody sues. So the trains and subways keep on rolling, as they should. (P.S. My apologies to whomever I stole the photos from on Flickr.com.)
