This is the nonsense that I am going to one day either lose my life over or lose my freedom.  After working all day, I refuse to move to the side to make way for this nonsense.

You know if something happens and someone screams out, "Worldstar! Worldstar!" it is going to be good.

I'm glad Chicago train cars for the most part aren't wide enough to do this.

I'm very very much impressed, edit: the board delivered.  But if I don't come off that way it's because I'm also feeling kind of depressed. 

I'm surprised and glad anyone responded at all honestly.  

Take care of yourself, mate. I hope these comics bring you some joy on the days when that's otherwise lacking.

Spider-man travels out to the suburbs on top of the LIRR. The make and model are correct for the time and is even pictured on the cover.

What a terrible cover. It's Spider-Man on a box... ish.. shaped thing, and nothing else. It's vaguely train shaped, so it's probably a train, and the colourist did their best to hide the lack of detail, but man that's bad, especially for an ASM cover.

I've got a vid I'd love to post, but it has too much swearing. An American evangelical preacher is on an Aussie train and suddenly speaks up and starts telling everyone the usual hell for all stuff, he gets politely asked to shut up, refuses, and things go downhill from there. It's absolutely hilarious, and just peak Australian, for better or worse.

Not sure if these fit or not.  I didn't look at the actual story but these are in the public domain so you can check them on https://comicbookplus.com/?cid=1507 or https://digitalcomicmuseum.com/

Real Life Comics #11 has a story titled, "Leland Stanford Railroad Pioneer of the West."

Real Life Comics #39 has a story titled, "Railroads on Parade."

Real Life Comics #40 has another story titled, "Railroads on Parade."

I'm looking for a comic in which one of the following things is present:

The story references a real life railroad company, or train line. 

There is an advertisement for a railroad company or train line. 

 

 

Here are a couple that might fill the bill...

Legend of the Allegheny Traveler

Great Train Robbery - about actual Calico Railroad at Knott's Berry Farm

Pictorial Story of the General - there are at least two versions of this

One of the earliest comics about railroads is How He Reigned and How He Mizzled by Alfred Crowquill. You can find some discussion about it here.

I don't know what 'mizzled' means, but I know I like it as a word.
