Does any one else think it looks like a butterfly?

Nah...deffo a butterfly..

 

[Crushers]

nope, a moth is more like it. a butterfly is more dainty than the moth...
kinda cool looking though.

.....or a lady garden

But surely even in China they still go like this || and not this =

Perhaps Graham could confirm

I an see a squirrel with his nuts and I can see a couple holding hands.... but as they are walking away from the camera I can't comment on the size of her mammary glands

Aye Clive,

If only in them days we had the 20 / 20 vision of how much railways could be our savour now eh?
While we were ripping up tracks, the rest of the world were busy laying them, look what that got us now,

Sad

same here in my old home area. we had tracks from city center 150 km away and stops at most small towns along the way.
25 years ago some goofus decided to rip up all the tracks.
last year when the fuel prices had hit $1.45 L people were talking about how they would be happy to ride the rail to hit the big city to do their shopping.

plus all the cool small unique stations were demolished that were the life blood for many of the small towns.
someone wasn't thinking.

A performance of this Flanders and Swann poignant song which describes some of the exotic places which were cut from the national rail network under the Beeching railway cuts of the 1950s

Beeching,

That's the guy,

I just couldn't think of the name.

All these lorry's that are pounding our roads should be strung together with just one big tractor unit at the front pulling them.... oh hang on, didn't we have something like that years ago.... I think they used to call them trains

The good news here is that they were taking up the old tracks as part of the complete rail infrastructure renewal project of Corridor IV Trans European Railway Network from the Hungarian border at Lacushaz to Constanta (East coast Romania) which is some 870 kilometers.
It looks like this since the renewal has been completed...

Hi Andy,

Was on the news here.
They are pointing the finger at the lorries being overloaded.
Which wouldn't surprise me at all.
I guess they will gather all the contents of the lorries, and weigh them to prove over weight.
It looks like that the section with the 4 lorries on, just tippled over, off balance?
Maybe 4 x 40 ton lorries or whatever weight they were, was really too much per section?
One truck looks like bags of sand, the next looks like bulk stone, etc,,,
