Off the Rails Official Trailer 1 (2016) - Documentary
OFF THE RAILS is the true story of Darius McCollum, a man with Asperger’s syndrome whose overwhelming love of transit has landed him in jail 32 times for impersonating New York City bus drivers and subway conductors and driving their routes. As a boy, Darius found sanctuary from school bullies in the subway. Befriended by transit workers, who taught him to drive trains, Darius drove a packed train 8 stops by himself at age 15, making all the stops and announcements. Over the next three decades, Darius commandeered hundreds of trains and buses, staying en route and on schedule, without ever getting paid. Although Darius has never damaged any property or hurt anyone, he has spent 23 years in maximum security prison. Darius’ recidivism embodies the criminal justice system’s failure to channel the passions of a harmless, mentally challenged man into a productive career and purposeful life.

[@Turboy65]

He's been consistent about what he wants to do and when other people can't be bothered to show up for a shift they're going to be paid for, he steps in and does it for free because he loves doing it. GIVE THE MAN THE JOB AND LET HIM BE PRODUCTIVE, USEFUL, AND HAPPY. In return the MTA gets an employee who I guarantee will be excellent at it. I see no downside to giving him the job he wants.

[@laptopdroptop9457]

insurance, something goes wrong the person who ok'd the hiring would be canned

[@TerryCrodgedy]

laptop droptop ... what makes you think he wouldn’t be put through training and insured ??

[@jonathanwilliams2552]

Well Said. I agree with you 100%.

[@codacreator6162]

@@laptopdroptop9457 there's absolutely no guarantee that anyone else would be less likely to be dangerous at the controls. Imagine the underpaid, disengaged driver who feels unappreciated and a fat bribe by a terrorist to relinquish control. What's the likelihood this guy could be bought or compromised? Just because there's a name for the syndrome he has, doesn't mean he can't be beneficial to society and society benefit him in return. I don't think I've met very many flawless people. Have you?

[@spacecase7717]

Give the man a job and back pay.

[@jmoney1099]

spacecase7717 I totally agree. why has no one offered him a job in 20 years?!

[@shaneharrington3655]

Looks amazing why is the end of the trailer fucked up?

[@TheGASMass]

You would think they would at least attempt to cut the end of a little smoother there. Incredibly interesting though. I'm in.

[@SuelFadel]

make this a movie and make Denzel Washington play him !

[@stephen2862]

DENEZzZellllll

[@perezperez9423]

Haha

[@candisesmith4704]

wow poor guy i pray someone helps him.

[@Tadzio5050]

Yea, why don't they just give him a job on the NTA

[@JasnaCG]

that's what I just said

[@poodabran]

A job would help!

[@lightcapgun]

This guy a genius he could have taught a MTA school and gave out master degrees from his knowledge. It would be great to have him as a professer.

[@poodabran]

I'd love to have him as a teacher.

[@poodabran]

Oh c'mon MTA! Hire this guy. He's a savage. I wouldn't have even known he was a fake. He does better than any of those actual workers.

[@analadu2406]

My son have aspergers, I can tell you how difficult it is for him to make friends but I can also say that he is one of the smartest person I know.

[@IIAOPSW]

You also can't tell me how many trains he's commandeered

[@henrydemonfreid1985]

thousands over the years@@IIAOPSW

[@721rena]

omg he took my heart he is precious give him the job!

[@blu7855]

[@SaudDowaihy]

Looks awesome!

[@buklau3424]

[@realascanb222]

[@empressonikkia3492]

[@jasmineadams5038]

Awesome.

[@hyolmovlogs1609]

come on mta give the guy a job! hes 51 and all he wants to do is drive trains and buses

[@JetHawk]

This guy should have tried sneaking into exclusive parties instead, he probably could crash the Oscars.

[@lilthlee6022]

what kind of fucking trailer was that I would like to learn more please

[@mightyhustler]

Next time upload the full trailer goddamnit!

[@blakemcnamara9105]

What a sad story. I pray for the best for him.

[@seymorebutts2687]

He is a good man. They should of gave him a chance. He would of focused on what was right

[@thefantasticmro3619]

Where can I find this film to watch it?

[@Charliedog1.]

Amazon prime.

[@seymorebutts2687]

He probably would of been better than the other workers for the MTA

[@psychicfriendfreadbear6025]

he is my hero I would do the same if it won't get me arrested. I love trains btw

[@poodabran]

Me too. Especially subways.

[@cherylgaston479]

Poor man worked all over the transit system,for the love of trains&buses,guve him some free training,and i believe he would be a productive citizen that would keep him from stealing buses & trains in the future

[@realascanb222]

Where is this movie at?? I want to see it so bad

[@kimberlydill8059]

I actually found one at the library.

[@NESninja1982]

Trailer ends like 15 seconds early.....

[@lemonadelemon1960]

Who was supposed to be driving the train? Who the hell was taking his break when the train was being hijacked???

[@reinnegroni8462]

I don't like him & he impersonates an MTA worker because my cousin happens to be working for MTA New York City Transit & it's illegal. It's against the law. He should be in jail for illegal operating MTA property & you need a to pass an exam in order to be working for MTA & they have rules & regulations for all soon to be operators who has a CDL drivers license or other types so that you can operate a vehicle or a train.

[@1dewoine]

Rein Negroni want a hug?

[@reinnegroni8462]

+kidd kidd I rather hug for the real MTA workers & shake hands for the people who earned every dollar out of their paychecks so if they can come up to me & say hello to the people who deserves a hug.

[@1dewoine]

Rein Negroni yep here's a hug for ya

[@reinnegroni8462]

+kidd kidd Hugs indeed.

[@trackboyjstyles]

here's another huge. keep the hugs comin
