Did Alfredo commit suicide at the end? I thought he laid across the tracks unlike the way they did when they were kids? "..Your youngest and strongest will fall by the sword.." "...now you gotta speak more than one language to pull a heist..." Pudge Nichols "...Never shall innocent blood be shed; yet the blood of the wicked shall flow like a river. The THREE shall spread their blackened wings and be the vengeaful striking hammer of God..."

I think what 1900 is realy about is how the poor suffer from the carlessnes of the rich. I'm still not sure if Alfredo killed himself, and if he did I don't know what the significance of it is in relation to the rest of the story. "Tom, you know you surprise me. If anything in this life is certain, if history has taught us anything, it's that you can kill anyone."
