i also go to Belmont High, which runs along the tracks (literally 7 meters fromt he tracks), and the trains are so loud

When you are that close you have to be careful that something isn't sticking out from the train that can hit you. And in the case of high speed trains there is some suction that can cause a person to lose his balance perhaps. Also, you are making the engineers nervous as hell.

I think it is in Brazil where kids surf the trains. That is they stand on top of the cars and ride. Most of these people probably have IQs equivalent to that of a dog, or perhaps a cat. Frequently these people splatter themselves all over something.  What a way to go.

there is a black box on the side ( telling the cab car number) , thats how i tell.

[PKingman]

Thanks. I'll look for that.

Another way to tell, the cab control car has horns on top. You can see them in the first passing, the second pass, they zoom by so fast, you can't see them.

Hard to see in this video. But now I'll know what to look for.
