An environmental reporter in Massachusetts posted a video on Twitter late Monday that she said showed a freight train hauling coal being met with a group of climate change activists on a dark track.
The train was seen moving slowly through Worchester, Mass., and about a dozen activists with small lights could be seen surrounding the tracks. The train’s horn was blaring, but the activists appeared to continue to give it chase. The train was headed to New Hampshire, the reporter wrote.
Earlier this month, the Boston Globe reported that freight tracks were blocked by activists at various points in New Hampshire, including Worcester, Ayer and Hooksett, N.H.
The paper quoted Marla Marcum, the director of the Climate Disobedience Center, who noted that a coal power plant in the area “pollutes the river and causes asthma and contributed to climate change.”
It’ll be helpful if they get run over. After all, everyone knows the machinery of Capitalism is oiled by the blood of the workers.
(I got that quote off a Simpsons episode)
Trying to keep coal from reaching New Hampshire during a very cold winter.
I’m sure they would have been highly popular there if they had succeeded.
Trespassing, filing a false report and impersonating a police officer. They have no right to stop a train. They could have made themselves sacrificial cows if they truly believed in their cause.
Well Choo Choo Muthafcukahs!!
We burn coal cleanly her in the good old USA.
Get yer facts straight!
Learn Chinese and go to China you dumb fux!
You’ll love it so much you’ll never come back – or at least that’s the story….
No idea how trains work I see..
And after the train had passed, the special needs children from the Climate Disobedience Center ran to the tracks and picked up their flattened pennies. People watching them hoped that one day, those children could become productive members of society.
Reinstall cow catchers.
Who do they think they are, Butch Cassidy or some other old West train robbers? The train should have run them over and made them all recipients of Darwin Awards for being the biggest dumbasses of the year. Thirdtwin, I actually worked with a retarded lady at a state institution who became that way from flattening pennies on railroad tracks that hit her in the head and permanently gorked her.
Next time they should chain themselves to the track. Show some dedication to the cause.
Is it wrong to think I’d like a few of them to follow Rachel Corries’ example of devotion to the cause?
In a battle of wills, my money will be on the 40 gazillion ton train.
I like that mickey moussaoui!
Let’s dare ’em to take the Freight Train Challenge!
Hi Ho, St. Pancake rides or gets run over and flattened again. Did any of these idiots ever go to Evergreen State College in Wash. State? St. Pancake did a Kowalski like in the movie Vanishing Point.
The conductor should run them down. These protesters break the law by blocking federally protected railroad tracks, and doing it at night is only making the law breaking worse and more dangerous. Suppose someone dies due to the “protest”? This is why in my mind, this is not a protest, it is an act of terrorism and should be treated as such.
The law they violated was Newton’s 1st Law of Motion
Is that what tey mean by being trained?
Inertia is a bitch and has no mercy on stupid people who think they can stop the speeding motion of a large train coming towards them. And they’re not Wile E Coyote either who can get up every time after being hit by a train.
why are they trying to reduce warren buffet’s profit margin?
Warren Buffet (BNSF railroad) has become a robber baron to these people just like EH Harriman of the Union Pacific railroad was in Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid.
They should have ignored the phone calls, and gone regular speed. Anybody that died would be suicide
“The train’s horn was blaring, but the activists appeared to continue to give it chase.” LOL! Were they able to stop the shipment!? Pfffft! How, again, does running behind a train stop it’s progress? Does the Left spawn any people with brains in their heads? Or are they all pumped out full of stupid?
NO coal, but they would GLADLY load up coal cars with Trump supporters to a “work location”. Think about that.
Libs are used to being afoul of trains. After all, they’ve been flattened by the trump train more than once.
A refreshing dose of chlorine for the gene pool…
I grew up in Montana. The trains had a pilot on the front of them back then. Perhaps it would be a good idea to reconsider them.

Some day they might realize that climate change also has inertia just as a locomotive does, and humans are not going to stop it from going where it was going. Next time if a few of them stay on the tracks they will get a dramatic demonstration of how it works.
I dint know that one could be permanently “gorked” by being hit in da hed with flattened pennies.
The train wins every time.
Aren’t there laws prohibiting disruption of interstate commerce?
Trains are fantastic. Some months ago I was waiting for a train in Grover Beach CA. Before my train arrived, an Amtrak Express went past the station at what I think was about 70-80 mph. Grover Beach wasn’t one of its stops and it did not slow down one bit. Its power was staggering. The feeling was “get the hell out of the way or pay a huge price”.
