Life Imitates Trainz

[magickmaker]

How many times has it happened to you? You were laying track and that stupid auto connect thing caused it to snap to another bit of track you never wanted, prompting the line to be all crooked and bent out of shape.

Guess that's what happened here.

Anyone else got images of "Life imitating Trainz"?

No images But isnt that from Heat stretching the rails?

no, it cant be, cause then the rails and ties would moveand a bit of gravel/ballast, not that much gravel though, so it looks like someone wanted this train to crash :hehe:

Last big earthquake in New zealand !!

Looks like someone forgot the expansion gaps...

It's pretty spectacular though - I've never seen that much kinking before. I think Nexus might be right about it being in NZ though - the gauge looks about right for 3'6", and I can see sheep...

Rolleston, New Zealand after an earthquake.

Tehachapi Loop looked like that after an earthquake hit it once.

Surely that has to be Photoshopped.

If it's twisted the track that much, why is everything else still in straight lines? (the ditches at the sides, for example) Hell, if the earth moved that much in such a small area, it should have torn the grass and everything else up a bit, at least.

It's right on the fault. This should prove it's not photoshopped.
