Lol indeed.
Thankfully, the train in the sim version won’t be going far, lacking a tender ...
Lol
It's a tank engine. It don't need no stinkin' tender.

only in New Zealand!
To quote my parrot: "Woo-woo, choo-choo!"
Of course, she only says that when leading our 4 cats (choo-choo, see?) into the bedroom in the afternoon to wake me up. But I think it applies. Yes, she waddles along on the ground. No flying for her!
Heck, look at Gibraltar, or MCAS Iwakuni. They both have roads across the runway. I'm quite certain the "airports with roads" list is long, but distinguished. Sorry, I had to add that bit on the end
Small step to go from roads across the runway to a railroad.
I just hope like heck there's some schedule posted in the NOTAMS for the trains though!

On first glance I thought the train looked out of scale - but then I remembered it's New Zealand and Hobbits need public transportation too...

Of course if you didn't know just how massive a TBM Avenger is (as seen in the real pic), most things compared to it in size would look smaller than expected. I think the real photo makes the Avenger out to look small, if anything.

Not so. For years there was a train line running across the runway at Ballykelly in Northern Ireland. And there are/were others.

Certainly in the UK, the railway signals would need to be released by the ATC before they were able to clear and allow a train to cross the runway. They're gone now, but the railway crossing the threshold at the BAE/Airbus facility at Broughton/Hawarden in North Wales used to have a direct control in the ATC tower to put the railway signals to red in case of an emergency aircraft.
It's almost a pity that it's gone, given the absolutely tiny microscopic bit of graffiti that a friend put on the railway scheme plan for the area...
