Mumbo jumbo garbage.... 


I really don't give a *** whether you guys prefer to worship real
clowns, who rode around on bicycles, with stupid sticking-up hair
styles.

The REAL joker was HE, who postulated a shrinking train,
diagramatically described the scenario by which constant c caused the
physical effect, and then rode off through the campus, leaving
wide-eyed accolytes blissfully unaware that the diagram also
proved/showed the OPPOSITE EFFECT.

In what frame is the train longer than its length at rest? Enlighten us. 


The brakeman's:
As he shines his beam forward, the engine is receeding, so HE measures
a LONGER train, than would the engine driver directing HIS beam towards
the rear (which is approaching his beam)

If he fails to account for the time delay of the beam then he will have made a bad measurement. The train isn't longer wrt him, he's just too stupid to add.
