    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.

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