Those guys need to find something else to occupy their time. Miller Argent is always having problems with protesters because they’re the newest company founded in 02', to begin mining in Wales. One time the same group climbed up on two of their PC3000's and stopped production for a day. Strapped themselves to the hydraulics, bucket, cab, etc. I told my one buddy if it were my machine I would have ran the dam thing with them on it.

Stupid hippies. Costume freaks, always gotta put masks or hazmat suits on. They have no problem with their pot smoke polluting the air though.

I'd keep going at 5 mph to let them get out of the way. Blow the horn, and when you are at the minimum stopping distance, stop the train and scare the shit out of the pot-smoking mofos!

The only problem is that once you shovel all of the coal out of the cars, how are you going to get out? you are standing on the load, and from what I can see, the hoppers of the type that they put into a rotary dumper, therefore thye don't have gates on the bottom to climb out through.
