* One of the first signs that everything is going to hell on the train is when the bloody body of the Young Conductor is found. Jacuzzi thinks the Rail Tracer did it, but it might be one of the other groups trying to take over the train. Then, halfway through the series, we finally see what happened. The young conductor is telling the urban legend of the Rail Tracer, and his coworker reveals that his allies are coming to kill everyone on the train. He pulls a gun on the young conductor and says "No one will be spared," with [[RepeatCut the scene repeating]] on the word "spared." On the first cut the scene seems normal, on the second we see the gun disappear, and on the third we see that the young conductor kicked the gun out of the man's hand, caught it, and resumed telling his story. The young conductor is actually Claire Stanfield, the most dangerous man alive--as well as the Rail Tracer he was telling the story about.
-->'''Claire:''' Now, ''as I was saying...''

* The rescue of Isaac, Miria, and Czeslaw after they fall off the train is just a really cool action sequence. Isaac throws the lasso he's carrying as a costume prop, but misses. They happen to fall past Rachel, who quickly grabs the rope. She manages to hold them for a bit before her injured leg slips and she's forced to let go. Then Claire spots them, leaps off the train to snag the rope, and bounds off a passing tower to land back on the train. He hands off the rope to Donny to pull them in. While that's happening, everyone on the end of the rope goes swinging wildly into the air and over the train, even passing through a fight taking place.

** Note that, following the above exchange, the series' ShrinkingViolet proceeds to [[spoiler: charge a man with a flamethrower completely unarmed, headbutt him multiple times in the face, and finally full-body tackle him off the edge of a speeding train so that the fuel canister on his back explodes.]] At this point, Jacuzzi has taken ''uncountable'' [[TookALevelInBadass levels in badass.]]
** The fact that he then [[spoiler:is pulled back onto the train by Nice and is prepared to stand up to ''the blood-covered Rail Tracer'' with Goose's knife ''still'' stuck in his arm]] is just the icing on the CMOA cake.
*** And in the books? [[spoiler:He pulls the pins on the two grenades he got from Nice and ''tackles'' him, fully intending to pull a HeroicSacrifice. Thankfully, Claire does not approve of murder-suicide.]]
** Scene is even more awesome, once you remember it's the [[spoiler:'[[CallBack 'exact same thing]] Isaac told him [[BrickJoke earlier]].'']]

** Even better; with Dallas, this wasn't a case of "oh, Isaac and Miria are ditzy klutzes who just happened to hit the right target". They recognized Dallas (he had beat them up in an alleyway) and ''ran him over on purpose''.

* Fhe fight between Ladd and Chane on top of the Flying Pussyfoot? What made it a CMOA was when Ladd thought he had killed Chane by knocking her off the train. Cue the close up of Chane ''climbing up the side of the train with her knives.''
