I've seen some train surfers before, but usually just one to three of them at a time. A lot of what I'd see would be kids hanging onto the side or the back of the train.

But there's a lot of them ON TOP of the train in this video!

Looks like about 30 of them on there!

All the train has to do is stop suddenly - which it does quite often - and they go flying off.

Or unexpectedly have to switch to another track. I count about 20 geniuses atop that express train. I doubt that any of the future doctors and lawyers (Ha!) trainsurfing have contemplated for even a second what would happen to them if they were thrown off or under that train. Guarntted though that news crews would describe them as all aspiring rappers who were good boys loved by all in the projects.

Imagine being the driver and knowing or sensing that they are there.

I dont think they think like you do. They have a tunnel vision, drive train for 7 hours and go home.

I mean you have to be really special to want to drive a subway train under ground every day.
