Folks, I'm tipping my hand pretty early here, chances are what I list here will be examples of what I think are bad titles.
I haven't seen any 'incident on...' threads popping up, you know, the ones devoted to fatal train-pedestrian accidents, but I have lately seen a bunch of "question about..." titles, like "question about Amtrak" where the body's something like "Why doesn't Amtrak run on time?" in which case I wonder why the original poster didn't just make that the thread's subject.
If anyone sees any exceptionally good thread titles, I hope they'll mention them here, but I suspect we'll find an abundance of bad ones.

What would the conductor do in this situation?

I've always wondered this because I doubt if it happens that much.I feel "What do conductors do when passengers don't have money or passes?" would have been much better.
