Listen... I have mood swings, I've been throwing temper tantrums over TS 2012 performance, but this is very cool and made me laugh a bit (in a good way). Very nice way to lighten the mood.. Seems like it will be a innocent fun and amusing little addon. Trains don't alway have to be "serious business". I'll probably buy this for the amusement of it all. Halloween is one of my favorite times of year..

I am enough of a zombie fan that I play week-long games of Humans vs Zombies at my college, and even I think this current zombie thing has gone too far.

I'll still be buying this, though. I cannot resist the zombies.

Trains and Zombies. Two of my favorite things I enjoy in computer games.
Not sure how well it will mix together, but, looks like it could be fun to try.
And yes, as Heath Ledger's Joker would say, "Why So Serious?".

BRRRAAAAAIIIIINNNNNNNNSSSSSSSSS

Or in this case, "TRRRAAAIIIIIIINNNNSSS!"

Do we get to run them over?

TRRRAAAIIIIIIINNNNSSS!

I've always thought a train would actually be perfect for a zombie apocalypse scenario. Just pack a few boxcars full of supplies and drive out to a remote area. If the zombies still find you, it doesn't matter how many there are, you can still just run them over as long as you're moving fast enough that they can't grab on. Modern trains are so fuel-efficient that if you keep your train pretty short it'll take you a while to run out of gas, and when you do start to run low you can just find another abandoned train and swap locomotives, although ideally you'd have a second engine to begin with that you'd leave shut down until you needed it. Find a passenger car or two to live in, and you're pretty much set. The main concern I can think of is that you'd want to have at least two engineers so you can drive in shifts, and qualified train crew aren't exactly the most common people around.

Yes, I have indeed put far too much thought into zombie planning.

Good plan.
