In your example "suspend" would mean "suspend the trip" altogether, not
suspend the trip on the railroads.
Suspend in JTS, and that is how it was done in jonas, means "suspend the
transaction going on" (the one associated with the thread since you don't
pass anything explicitely). We just need a "suspend" on the track really
that says "the train is no longer traveling on the tracks"...
but that train keeps on running, my friend, oh yes! it keeps on running and
running and ...
got it?
