Talk:List of MacGyver (2016 TV series) episodes

Question

In what century does this series take place?

MacGyver is driving to Frankfurt in a prehistoric passenger car with a switcher diesel locomotive on a single track route without an overhead line ... some facts:

1. All German locomotives stop 60 seconds after the train driver missed to hit the Dead man's switch.
2. All German diesel locomotives as old as shown in the series have no electric but hydraulic transmission.
3. All German locomotives and passenger cars stop immediately when the pressure of the brake pipe drops (indirect air brake).
4. All German passenger cars have buffers and chain couplers and no central automatic couplers.
5. All German passenger cars have automatic doors that won't open while moving.
6. No German passender car has those little grenades hanging around "to inform other trains".
7. There are no single track routes around Frankfurt where long distance trains would operate.
8. There are no routes without overhead lines around Frankfurt.

Hilarious ... ridiculous! 94.221.124.56 (talk) 20:13, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
