I guess when you live in an era where things like Tuberculosis aren't uncommon shit like this doesn't seem that dangerous by comparison.
Trains also stopped it seems. The train driver is looking at the camera
Wouldn't it be super hot to sit there?
Why is the chimney thing that shape?
It's a spark arrester
A spark arrester (sometimes spark arrestor) is any devices which prevents the emission of flammable debris from combustion sources, such as internal combustion engines, fireplaces, and wood burning stoves.
Spark arresters play a critical role in the prevention of wildland fire and ignition of explosive atmospheres. Consequently, their use is required by law in many jurisdictions worldwide.

I wanna ride!
