I have known at least two ravens who would clearly qualify for having fun with outdoor trains.  (They would not destroy for territorial reasons... but might be considerably more destructive in what they considered 'playing' until you taught them acceptable manners...)

Edgar Allen Poe said it best:

Quoth the Raven "Nevermore".

[Paul of Covington]

   Do the trains resemble giant worms to them?

It wasn't attacking trains, but...

I was visiting Deshler at the end of June, watching trains, of course.

Those present heard a distinctive drone approaching, and soon spotted a large, four engine prop job coming in from the NNW.  I'm not a plane expert, so had no idea, but one of those at the park had a plane app on his phone and soon announced that it was the B-29 "Fifi."  

Impressive, to say the least.  Imagine dozens of them passing overhead...

As a punctuation mark, a biplane soon flew over in the same direction.

Glad to see this thread resurrected. So, Bruce, Iron Maiden's frontman is a pilot...everything from 747 to Fokker Triplane. He was delighted to visit the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome and sit in our Triplane. Once the new owners fix the forum so you can post a picture without nonsense I refuse to deal with, I'll show you the shot.

I love the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome! Is that Morgan 3-wheeler still there?

My condo in Jacksonville is due East of the main runway for NAS Jacksonville.  Every other year the Blue Angels put on thier show at NAS Jacksonville, alternate years they put it on at NAS Mayport over on the beaches side of Duval County.

My first experience with the Blue Angels at the condo, I was sleeping after working third trick - four of the planes in formation made a pass at about 500 feet - right down the condo driveway - that will wake you right up!

With the noise the Blue Angels generate with their 6 participating aircraft, I can only imagine what Baghdad sounded like on the first days of the Gulf War - not only the sound of the war planes but the anti-aircraft fire being aimed at the war planes.
