Cars were stopped and chains were used to block traffic lanes on the famous bridge. Protesters also blocked traffic in Chicago, New York City and Seattle.
If you’re suicidal, you block the train where it goes quickly. If you just want to block the train, you do it at the end of the station platform before it can leave.
Strictly technically speaking, a F59PH engine unit of a train is about 265 000 lbs whereas an F-150 pickup truck averages around 5 000 lbs. In a train you might hear but you definitely won’t feel running over protestors from the cab, whereas in a car you will be rocked as if you were going over speed bumps. As such there is a little bit of difference in capability there.
The advantage in a car or truck of course is you have more choice of where to run over protestors. If you far enough away from a pair of parallel steel rails you can rest assured as a protestor that a train won’t show up and run you over. Unless you’re in this movie.
One more reason why trains are superior than any other form of commute.
You could block train tracks this way too.
If you’re suicidal then sure.

If you’re so hellbent on inconveniencing general public instead of elites then good luck

That was sort of my point…
And my point was doing that will get you beaten by people who are already frustrated in their lives.
Go harass lawmakers and other elites.
Yes, I agree. I’m not sure why you think I don’t.
My car is equally capable of rolling over protestors. So, there’s not much a difference on this front.

If the objective was to run over protestors, rumble feedback might be a positive instead of a negative.
That is a good point.
