with the manufacturer of those trains denying bricking the trains

Literally handled and resolved by white hats. It's like Jesus catching you in an alter boy, and all you can think to do is point to your penis, "That's not mine."

The train’s manufacturer is now threatening to sue the hackers

"In fact I think it's your penis, Jesus."

The manufacturer is also now demanding that the repaired trains immediately be removed from service because they have been “hacked,” and thus might now be unsafe, a claim they also cannot substantiate.

"And both of you need to repent! Disgusting. I'll be in the shower."

I mean at this point it's just a question of supply/demand and quality of service/price.

What can they threatend them for, solving a problem? Wouldn't it be dangerous going to court with artificial bricks working against public infrastructure?

(I don't know if they are public infrastructure but I assume they are)
