Trainz Riddlez

[judahGrice]

A train enters a tunnel at 7 o'clock. Another train enters the exact same tunnel at the other end, also at 7 o'clock on the same day. The tunnel has only one track, no passing places and no other means for the trains to pass, around, under or over. However, both trains made it safely through the tunnel. How?

7 AM and 7 PM?

 

[watemple]

One is 7 am and the other is 7 pm.

 

[flyboy559]

You are both correct.

Not trying to be harsh, but if it's taken THIS long to answer, they probably just don't know.

The VR B class diesel was built in 1952 then rebuilt as the A class in the 1980s for V/Line.

Time to bump this thread:
I travel faster than any other train in my country, but I'm built to a narrower gauge than the rest of the trains in my country.

The Shinkansen, right?

Nope. It's the other way around.

This makes me think of Queensland Rail's 'Tilt Train', being built for 3ft 6 gauge track and going 160kph (100mph), however this is probably incorrect.

I am lead to believe that the Tilt Train is the fastest narrow-gauge train in the world, too, however I am most happy to be proven incorrect on that point.

I thought this too, but I changed to the Shinkansen,

Shinkansen actually runs on standard gauge while most other Japanese lines are meter gauge.

Actually, I think you are correct on that one.

 

[watemple]

Really? I looked it up and it said that it was a narrower gauge than any other Japanese trains.

 

[jordon412]

nicky9499 is correct about the Shinkansen.
Now for a hint:
It has something in common with state-funded Amtrak Cascades service.

The Talgo XXI?

 

[bentrain14]

Correct you are. To answer your riddle, I'm going to guess BNSF?

BNSF is one of the youngest Class one railroads and the second most successful. UP being the head of it all. So in no way could BNSF be older.

 

[watemple]

That one was already answered, and ZeldaBoy got banned.

 

[jordon412]

The Talgo XXI?

You're on the right track, but not yet at the destination.
