Nothing that crazy I guess, but two events I remember:

  • A small fire broke out next to the tracks and the train driver actually stopped the train and got out to extinguish it

  • A train busker played so loudly and terribly that a group of random passengers got together to shove him out of the train at the next station.

    Yeah, I hadn't heard any buskers on the Stockholm metro for years until a few weeks ago when a guy I had seen earlier busking, came onboard again with his weird wooden box with metal strings that is played with two hooked sticks and started playing.

    Not proper public transport, but my dad is an active member of a heritage railroad.

    This railroad rund both steam and diesel trains.

    When it is dry outside they will run a fire watch train after the steam train, basically a tank car with water and a petrol pump, pulled by a diesel locomotive.

    But this day they didn't run the fire watch train, and I was tagging along with dad as he drove the classic DMU trains.

    We come around a corner and see smoke comming from a farmer's field, it had caught on fire/smolder from the steam train...

    We stop, obviously, bring our large water can and start working the fire, after a few min the fire department came and we could hand it over to them
