Best Train Jokes

31. A train conductor decided to get a haircut before work. He asked the barber, “How long will this take?” The barber said, “Oh, about 2 minutes.” The conductor laughed and said, “Well I don’t have time to get my haircut then.” The barber asked why not. The conductor explained, “You see, my train is stopped at the station and it’s already 2 minutes late!”

32. A woman was taking the train home with her baby in a stroller. Upon entering the train, she tried to place the stroller in the corner out of the way of other passengers. However, no matter how she angled it, it wouldn’t fit. After multiple attempts, she finally got so frustrated that she picked up the stroller with baby and all, and shoved it into the corner. The baby started crying hysterically and other passengers stared at the woman disapprovingly.

Red-faced, she picked up the baby, hugged and soothed her, and said “I’m so sorry little one, but you know…your mother has always had trouble raising you!”

33. A train conductor woke up one morning with a sore back, so he decided to visit the chiropractor’s office nearby before starting his shift. He entered the office and said “Hey doc, I’m a train conductor, can you please help adjust my back so I can get to work on time?” The chiropractor said “Sure, just lie down here and I’ll see what I can do”. The conductor lied face down on the massage table and the chiropractor started applying pressure along his spine and loosening up joints.

After a few minutes, the chiropractor said “All done! Try sitting up slowly”. The conductor sat up and said “Wow I feel much better, thanks doc!” As he got up to leave, the chiropractor said, “That’ll be $150 please”. Shocked, the conductor said “What? $150? That’s outrageous!” The chiropractor shrugged and said “Well, I straightened your back didn’t I? Isn’t that what a train conductor does? Charge people ridiculous amounts for short distances?”

34. A train engineer and his co-worker were switching positions halfway through their route. The co-worker said “Remember, this train is a little tricky – it tends to accelerate gradually rather than speed up right away when you increase the throttle.” The engineer acknowledged this and they continued on.

About an hour later as the train was approaching a bend, the engineer suddenly remembered what his co-worker had said. He quickly reduced throttle, but it was too late – the train started speeding uncontrollably as it got pulled into the bend by centripetal force. The passengers were violently jolted as the train banked around the curve, barely making it through without derailing.

Once back under control, the engineer radioed central command and reported what had happened. He concluded his message saying “My apologies, I should have heeded the advice of my co-worker. I guess I just needed a little more training on operating this engine.”

35. A retired train engineer was invited as a guest of honor to ride in the locomotive of a high-speed bullet train making its inaugural trip. He was excited to see the new technology up close. But once the train began picking up speed, his expression changed from joy to fright. Seeing the engineer handle the controls at such high speeds was nerve-wracking compared to the slower trains he was used to.

As the train accelerated even more, the retired engineer couldn’t take it anymore. He tugged on the current engineer’s sleeve and shouted over the noise “Aren’t we going too fast?! Shouldn’t you slow down?” The current engineer calmly smiled and shook his head saying “Sir, we’ve only just left the station…”

36. The conductor of a train got sick and had to call in a replacement at the last minute. His boss said “I know this guy Joe who has been an assistant conductor for a few years now. He knows trains very well so let’s have him fill in.” The real conductor was hesitant about putting his train in a rookie’s hands, but he had no choice.

Joe showed up excited for his first day conducting. However, the train ended up arriving over 2 hours late to its destination. When the boss asked what happened, Joe explained “Everything was going smoothly when suddenly I got distracted by a nice meadow we passed. Before I knew it, we overshot the station by 20 miles and had to backtrack!” Moral: New conductors can’t train their focus well enough.

37. A train engineer found an unknown switch in his locomotive labeled “Auto Drive”. Curious, he flipped it on and to his amazement the train started driving itself down the tracks perfectly. At every stop, passengers would get on and off smoothly without the engineer doing anything. He thought this was amazing. At the next stop, his co-worker got on and saw the switch. He yelled “Turn that off right now! That’s dangerous!” The engineer laughed and said “Relax, this train can drive itself!” The co-worker shook his head and said “Yes, that’s the problem.”

38. The conductor of a high-speed train noticed the guy sitting next to him was nervous and sweating. Trying to lighten the mood, the conductor pointed out the window saying “Relax sir, see those birds flying alongside us? We’re not going that fast.” The passenger replied “Oh I’m not worried about how fast we’re going. It’s just that I’m the new bird watcher they stationed on this train route today.”

39. An electric train got arrested and charged with battery after getting into a fight with a diesel engine. Eyewitnesses say the electric train was just minding its own business powering the morning commute when the diesel approached it trash talking and trying to pick a fight. Words were exchanged and it eventually turned physical.

Now the electric train is facing time in the train yard while the diesel engine is on the lam. Detectives found fingerprints and are hopeful the diesel culprit will be brought to justice soon. Other trains in the area are shaken by the violence. Officials say counseling will be provided on rail rage management.

40. A husband and wife were taking the train to visit family for the holidays. The wife was struggling to carry all their heavy luggage onto the crowded train. Seeing his wife in distress, the husband thought he’d be charming and said “Here sweetie, let me get those bags for you! We men are much stronger than you women.”

His wife glared back and replied “Oh yeah? Well we women are smarter than you men!” She then took the largest suitcase and shoved it right between his legs, smashing his groin and knocking him down. She breezed by carrying the rest of the luggage saying “Next time dear, use your brain instead of your ‘strength’ to help me out. Now hurry or we’ll miss the train!”
