Actually, the CEO is the person who controls the lever, and the railway is a closed circle, but if he stops the train, he just earns a 300% profit.

You misspelled "if he speeds up the train, he just earns a 300% profit". Literally how they work. Parasites.
-
No no, you see, he only gets 300% profit for stopping it, but would get more by allowing it to continue.
-
Nah, if he speeds up the train, he gets 1000% profit. He just refuses to stop the train because he would only get a 300% profit, which is less growth than last year's 500%, so shareholders would be unhappy.

Well that was a time sink

Why don't they just wiggle out of the way? They're not tied to anything.

Or the train could do a little jump...

Too bad he's on the other side of them or Thomas could just hit the brakes right after him.

Any luck with them swans, then?

He wouldn't have paid out anyway, the adjuster would try to force you to prove the train wouldn't have stopped on its own after hitting the second person
