I also like the sl command for linux: https://github.com/mtoyoda/sl

The animation takes ages and you can't cancel it XD

IIRC the train travels at a constant speed so you can make it faster by resizing your terminal so it's narrower. Thus the train has a shorter distance to travel and the animation length is reduced.
