Speed bumps for trains.
A great way to slow down those 16 year old train drivers who just got their driving licence and want to go hot rodding down long railroad straightaways on a speeding joyride.
FROM THE THREAD
at least they added the speed bump warning sign.
clearly, someone took the idea of Wednesday is hump day way too far.
Great idea Mustang Murray. All we need is a $500 million dollar government grant to study the problem and come up with a proposal which will cost $10 billion to implement (not including cost overruns).
Thanks Andre Luiz Jakubovicz. Safety First !
so ... replacing the rocks which are too heavy with lighter rocks would correct the gravitational lensing?
Like getting eyeglasses for nearsighted railroad tracks?
but the snakes are raised in a cruelty-free manner on free range snake ranches, right?
it's an added Safety Feature.
is that why trains make clackity sounds just like roller coasters?

sounds like Congress is a pack of trained seals which have been trained to clap on cue.
train engineers really shouldn't drink and drive at the same time.
hey, if you want to hold scalding hot coffee between your legs while driving over speed bumps, you are a braver man than me.
at the entrance to the local airport here, the speed bump sign is right next to the speed bump.
First time users usually don't see the warning sign in time.
I call that "evil engineering".
yep, works as smoothly as water off a duck's back.
more regulations make everything more efficient and more cost effective.
the witty reader comments are the primary reason why I write these posts.
The comments can be quite amusing when people play along : )
