Then you sit and watch and count in your head how long it takes before you can no longer even see the engine and you get to like 150. Then you sit and wait some more while the rest of the train cars go by. And you read some of the train cars and you start to thing they're doing this on purpose as some kind of subliminal message trick that isn't so subliminal.

I've long considered the possibilities of time control (which is more technically a form of universal telekinesis allowing you to stop even the earth, sun, and whole solar system in place... otherwise the freezing of time would make seeing difficult as all light would be incredibly distorted because light is not a constant thus would be caught up in the freezing of time) and I even began a story entailing a group of anti-heroes with powers such as compulsion, teleportation, shapeshifting, and time manipulation all of whom have done horrible things to people to sate their own twisted proclivities. They then simply travel back to before they did the crimes so that "no one was hurt". Time manipulation could be the ultimate ability if it's contextual range extended to incorporeal things such as water, air, and gravity. Stop things from falling in mid-air, walk on water, hell, perhaps even granting a semblance of flight, granted this all only comes to one who is entirely proficient in their ability.
