If I'm going to have sit here for 20 minutes waiting for the train to pass, at least give me something to look at!

Something like this or whatever. https://www.youtube...watch?v=0G5p46kZrqU
Or just the original idea with moving comic book characters. [doctorremulac3, Aug 27 2025]

       With polarized glasses and a fast train you could get a movie going.

       This was actually inspired by some graffiti I saw on a passing train today that had me hoping there was a follow-up image on the next car lol

       Does anyone remember Burma Shave? Classic hundred yard haikus.

       I've seen a few similar attempts at sign marketing from local computer repair companies.

       How about when the gate crossing arm comes down it's got slots and the train could have a series of zoetrope pictures so you get various movies to pass the time. Not sure what those would be, happy singing traincars of something. Or the comic book characters punching each other like the idea suggests.

       This idea would completely solve for tragedies caused by people 'running the lights' at train crossings! [+]   

       Trained by the dopamine drips of social media, YerAverageJoe'd slam on the brakes for a front-row seat to the latest Train Panorama-stroposcopic feature*. What could go wrong?!

       I've seen the opposite this somewhere... Japan I think. Give me a sec.   

       Interesting, It doesn't seem to exist in this reality any more than the Berenstein Bears yet I did find just one single reference on the internet after a... much longer than anticipated search...   

       ...and I found it here.   

       //Years ago the New York subway had an experiment where you saw a cartoon on the walls of the tunnel when the train was moving, it worked just fine, and I believe it was achieved by simply interspercing the pictures — theircompetitor, Aug 19 2004//   

       I remember that there was a link I followed and could see the animations it should work the same in reverse. (+)   

       Yea, this rings a bell. Not finding anything but I do think something like this was done before. Bun anyway.

       // I remember that there was a link I followed and could see the animations it should work the same in reverse//   

       So there are animations that you see and follow, and then there is a link? I don't understand that process, can you elaborate please?
