Is this week 'train derailments week' two in Thailand and one major one in Spain. That picture looks like some kind of crazy person idea of a garden feature or focal point though. It could even be classed as a form of modern art, look how it depicts the barrier between nature and urbanization.

france, usa too. canada not so long ago. i'm a bit more cynical. too many in a short time for coincidence.. someone/some thing has changed tactics/ the rules for what they see as to their benefit. .

Wonder if people say the same about the Swiss railway system which running like clockwork succeeded in having a head on collision. 27 dead in that one.

Latest news is, the locals keep stealing the bolds that hold down the rails on the sleepers. This is the seventh derailment in 4 months.

When a rails is detached from the sleeper it will slide outwards in a curve, this is perhaps why the train topped over on the inside of the curve.

nah not locals. they dont/wouldnt have any motivation. so look again who with power and influence and proposed gain would have big motivation.

The powerful want to steal metal bolts from railway lines. Times must be tough at the top.

every morning the sun rises. you, no doubt, would have to ask you grandmother what happens next.

Well, it does look like my train ride to Bangkok on Sunday has the potential to produce some high drama.
