Well, are we talking about the scene being upsetting to the characters, or to the viewers? 

Really thinking for a moment there that infrared thermometers were playing a big role in the new Dr. Strange movie.

I’m glad she got that scene in purely because it was important to her artistically, and I’m all for artists getting to do what they want in studio settings.

I’m hoping and praying that they actually finish the PRR T1 being worked on. Far and away my favorite, most ominous-looking train, a duplex, (possibly apocryphally) capable of 140mph. Just so much awesome.

I mean, that scene was upsetting and tense, sure. But does he also not cut off a young girl’s face in the beginning after killing her family? And it’s kinda played for levity too? There were some tonal issues with that movie

This is the scene I thought they were going to talk about.

So in the director’s view, the scene is a “turning point for Roman” which “shows what he’s really capable of”? In one of the opening scenes, Roman is shown murdering a little girl’s parents in front of her, by peeling their faces off with a razor blade. It’s implied that he then peels the little girl’s face off, too

Trouble is, that whole movie was weaponized stupidity. It was like the Farrely Brothers hooked up with Zack Snyder and tried to make Deadpool. 

Lots of people ask why a diesel engine accompanies the Big Boy.

Union Pacific almost always have a diesel running along with the steam locomotives because the steam engines don’t generate electricity for the whole train. Originally they would’ve had a generator car where the modern diesel engine is, and it serves the same purpose.

Big steam excursions usually have a diesel unit somewhere in the train to provide power and heating to the passenger cars (and serve as a backup to get them home if the steam engine breaks down).

What railroad calls "protect power" in case Big Boy broke down. It didn't.

Unfortunately, it’s incredibly difficult to get a locomotive into a garage, or drive one to work

what on earth does gently disturbed sediment in manmade canals have to do with greed?

Well of course you can't see the bottom of the canal from a train. You have to be on a boat!

They still fog for me

This! This! This! You want surgical masks, which have the wire. Then you just pinch the wire around your nose and no more fogging.

The lab I worked in used to get two types of face masks. The first had a metal wire at the nose line, the other did not.
