When they toss the bags off

I had to laugh. All the attention to detail in this movie, and then it shows them tossing bags that must weigh at minimum a hundred pounds each like they are full of towels. The bags sail through the air quite a distance. They should have dropped like anchors.

I thought the same thing also. Hopefully they tossed the dead cat out as well.

Yes, one of those silly things. It wouldn't have made any difference if they'd just dropped them off the side of the train where the buggy could pick them up, rather than flinging them long distances through the air.
