What is wrong with this picture????

PRICELESS!

Nothing. [:D]

They do things differently across the pond. Either the catenary poles or (more likely) the track has been retired. I think we’ve seen this before.

'ey bloke, my jobs to lay down the the track in a line… I did my job… I’m not resonsible for no poles.

[(-D]

Did you notice there’s any derail or signs…[:-^]

Well… [%-)] something’s got to give. My guess is that the tracks were laid where they were to go and that the poles will be removed afterward.

New style of bumping posts.

Dispatcher to Engineer: “Tell me again, WHAT, EXACTLY, is blocking the tracks!?”

…To be resolved later…! In the meantime…go around.

That would be a feat Quentin, for the train to do something ala Bugs Bunny. Remember where he’s moving under snow and all you can see are his ears sticking up? He’d come to a tree and one ear would go around each side then they’d come back together on the other side!

Engineer:Dispatch, what is blocking the tracks

Dispatch:A,um…Pole…

Engineer:Say that again…

Dispatch…A pole…

Engineer:Only Penn central…

I’ll wager that all of the countries of the EU got together and formed a committee to decide where to lay the tracks and this is what happened.

Could be a rookie crew just following the instructions…[:-^]

How can you be so sure it’s a Pole, and not a Czech? They look a lot alike you know…

Um… Poles are taller…

And Czecks have alternating black and white squares.

Is it standard gauge or is it smaller?

You would probably need to see the Pole & Czech side by side in order to gauge that [:-^] or as the say in the UP of Mich. “2 beside the each”. [(-D]

That will keep those double stacks on the right tracks.

My guess is the poles will go, track has concrete ties and I am guessing is not that old.
