Artist Joe Staton and writer Mike Curtis co-author "Dick Tracy," the classic comic strip distributed by Tribune Media Services.
Created by Chester Gould in 1931, "Dick Tracy" is one of America's most-enduring pop-cultural icons, noteworthy for its steadfast, chisel-jawed hero and the gruesome gallery of villains he and his fearless team of Crimestoppers must outwit to put behind bars.
When longtime "Dick Tracy" artist and writer Dick Locher retired from the strip after 32 years of meritorious service, fans Staton and Curtis jumped at the chance to don the yellow fedora and trench coat. Staton has been drawing comic books for many years and has more than 1,000 credits under his belt. Curtis, who has been writing comics since 1986, is the only former law-enforcement officer to work on "Dick Tracy." Both creators are excited about the new--and dangerous--adventures they have in store for Dick Tracy and his Crimestoppers.

Then again, he might beat the train and get away while Tracy waits for it to pass

Interesting train… looks like a cross between a modern diesel-electric and an old steamer

Or a Chicago & North Western Class E-4, they also ran in the Chicago area.

A.) Sweaty beats the train, Tracy has to wait, and Sweaty escapes for the moment. B.) The train beats Sweaty, a nasty mess is made, and case questions go unanswered.. C.) Neither Sweaty nor Tracy beat the train, Tracy and Lee capture Sweaty, and Sweaty gives up the answers under heavy interrogation.

It’s rather stylized in the comic, but I think it’s closer to a Hudson Streamliner:

Betting on option #2.

Being hit by a HI would be more merciful than being run over by a 400, the HIs were faster.
