So this is what riding a train in Germany is like. I thought it would be rougher.

This is what we get for hiring a model railroader to lay our track. And what the heck are "Rail joiners?"
or:
After his recent exploits, the railroad decided to prevent their chief of maintenance from working on days he had too much coffee.

"A high speed rail strech between London and Manchester opens for passengers with a 5mph speed limit enforce, due to track buckling! Engineers found that they ordered the "wrong kind of rails". However, they are working on a solution to the embarrsing issue.
A spokesman for the Department for Transport said "This kind of thing happens all over the UK, look back to 2002 when we had a heatwave", he latter added, "We had so many speed limits in force, train services became unsustainable. 12 years later, we find ourselves in the same position."
Network Rail declined to comment on the situation.
Passengers are advised the best way to get from London to Manchester, is via the West Coast Main Line. Virgin Trains are advising the [insert tabloid name here] that they will be laying on extra services."

Didn't you see the two birds were above the rabbit!Wait untill you come to the signals............!
no matter how much an Irishman drinks he still can lay a track, and where would most of your countries be without the Irishman to do the work which you were incapable of doing yourselves.

Use the Straighten track tool for best results
Somewhere in North Germany a team of right of way surveyors is hard at work:
"Klaus...don't move! There's a bee on your neck!"
"What? Ow! Where did it go?"
"BEE! There's a BEE!"
"That's not a bee, that's a OW! HOLY CRAP! BEE! Run, they're everywhere!"
The men commence dodging back and forth, swatting and swearing; "RUN AWAY! For the love of God RUN AWAY!"

gasp! thats a bit hars making fun of Irish people! if it was an irish person that made that NG railway, it would be great, Irish NG railways are some of the best i have seen!
We don't have much in the way of Narrow Gauge lines, I think there's a preservation NG line down in Waterford somewhere, other than that there are the various "Bord Na Mona" peat extraction railways, (some of which are only marginally better than that German pic :hehe
, everything else is obviously broad gauge 1600mm.

Northern Germany, where continuously welded rail is for sissies.

...a more mundane title...for sure...
"Never Build On A Flood-Plain."
The field flooded & pretty much ended service temporarily. The track-hoe on the right is trenching both sides of the rights of way to help the roadbed dry-out & hopefully prevent future service interruptions(I have learned that the German people always have several reasons for doing anything ).
I bet if Hanna Montana talked like IllinoisCentral her mother would wash her mouth out with soap...again...:hehe:
As far as I can tell, via research and looking at several other pictures of the line, I do not believe this is photoshop
So, write a caption to go with it
