Spider-sense isn't perfect. But in most cases, it works just fine.
Wolverine is one tough, fast healing mother. But he can be killed.

What is all this talk about Spiderman creating mass transit vehicles out of thin air? I've never heard anybody say that before.
Automatically assuming that there would be a train to throw, or pulling the train that wasn't automatically there out of his ass.
And appearently the side opposing Spiderman was handicapping and giving disadvantages to Spiderman by not automatically giving Spiderman the environmental advantage of what ever he happened to need, be it skyscrappers and cars, trains and even a plentiful source of water.
Makes no sense to me how not giving him the advantage is the same as giving him a disadvantage or handicapping him.
His "limit" is hardly 15 tons....we've seen it multiple times. If I was ever home (where all my stuff was saved) I could be getting to that respect thread faster and showing more instances like that.
He's usually pissed when something like that happens, but he's definitely been shown to be capable of feats like that more than once.

i just did my own google search... seems you're right... for train cars made back in the forties:

more modern train cars weigh considerably less, one shown here weighs 13,500 lbs = 6.75 tons:

"The first use of stainless steel in mass transit equipment was the Budd-Micheline light-weight car built in 1932. Instead of weighing 130,000 to 240,000 pounds, which was typical for cars in those days, the all-stainless Budd car tipped the scales at 13,500 pounds"
so one and a half rail-cars should be well within his regular power limits
