The coefficient of friction doesn't change with the weight of the train.  <span style="font-family: sans-serif; color: #0b0080; "><span style="line-height: 19px;">µ</span></span> depends only upon the materials in contact. You meant to say: With increased normal force (train weight), the friction force will increase. Math much?  Coefficients don’t work that way.

How long have you all be posting pointless/snarky/FIRST! remarks without me?! Hate to sound like a newbie, but I thought Yehuda Moon was no longer being written/drawn.

Also the ads for Schwalbe Marathon Pluses show them with drawing pins (thumb tacks) in them, so I figure they would cope with metal to some extent. This is true.

Things dangerous by themselves, just by their very existence, capable of "waiting" for their chance to cause trouble looong after their original maker/owner lost control or interest over where they are etc. Like landmines. (UNlike, let's say, a knife). In the VERY least (ad absurdum), it is just not needed. There are enough such things already, even in the natural world.
