Hey, they have rail fire apparatus, so why not?

Truth stranger than fiction?
Recently witnessed a large number of Police and Sheriff's cars near railroad crossing in my area, being curious I got closer and found that it was a training session for radar operations and they were shooting the trains for practice. I asked if this meant they would be ticketing speeding trains and never received a reply. Seems to me with all of the car thefts in the area one of the worst in nation they would have better things to do with their time.

The idea here would be to have a good supply of things to either slow the cop or out run him: axle grease to drop on the rail, smoke screen (use the stack here somehow), rocket boost kit, and stuff like that. If he pulls along side, fire at his boiler with your handy dandy, trusty dusty only slightly rusty anti-boiler cannon.
