'Choo Shall Not Pass': Real-Life Gandalf Challenges Train

Commuters know that traveling by public transportation is sometimes far too similar to trekking through Middle Earth. But how do you think Gandalf would react to modern train technology if he lived in 2013?

A train of passengers witnessed this firsthand, as prankster Sylwester Wardega and a fellowship of Lord of the Rings lookalikes crossed the railroad tracks during a perfect recreation of the iconic scene from the first film in the trilogy.

Instead of stopping a fiery hell-beast, Wardega-as-Gandalf holds up a bunch of angry travelers. Keep an ear out for the Frodo impersonator shouting "Gandalf!" over and over as he runs away, presumably into some sort of Elven Forest.
