The creature (GM's discretion) makes a blind attack up through the train car roof surface at a random square once per round (think Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade). Creatures can be animals, gun-toting locos, etc. * Coal Dust (Coal/Fuel car): There's a lot of something volitile in this car. Fire, flame, or energy based attacks have the risk of starting a conflagration dealing 6d6 damage to everyone in/on the car whenever one of these attacks misses its intended target (GM sets the chances)* Tunnel! (Any car): The train is entering a tunnel! Duck! Anyone on the train top surface must make a DC15 reflex save or suffer 4d6 bludgeoning damage and appropriate fall damage as they are forced off of the train top. * Coal chute (any car): A swinging object such as a coal chute, mail-bag-dropper, or water hose is hanging over the path of the train. Anyone succeeding in a melee touch attack against the object (AC10) can immediately swing around to a position further back along the train surface. The distance travelled is twice the length of the object's arm (10' and 15' arms are common). A DC15 tumble check, DC10 jump check, or DC20 balance check is required to land safely. * So long, suckers! (any car): Jumping down between cars (DC10 jump or DC10 tumble), a character can attempt to seperate two cars. This requires a DC15 strength check for mechanically linked cars (e.g., linked with a pin), or an appropraite knowledge/electronics/etc. test for more sophisticated links. An unlinked car will fall short of the train at a rate of 10' per turn. Um. Yee-haw.</blockquote>
