Prayers for all. When I lived in Germany in the mid 70’s I loved riding the passenger trains.

I think they are talking about zero pushing “trains.”

I’m sure the families of the dead would appreciate your bizarre non sequitur. Don’t drink and post.

Oh no, that’s terrible. Accidents happen, I guess.

I’ve ridden the train from Munich to Salzburg and back. I’m planning to take the train from Berlin to Leipzig in September.

RIP for the victims.

From the article:

A local passenger train and a goods train collided head-on in the state of Saxony-Anhalt late on Saturday, near the city of Magdeburg.

Sounds like a dispatcher screwed the pooch.

Umm, do what?

BTW, I lived in Germany for a total of 9.5 years. The size of the country made trains a wonderful way to get around.

Read, walk around, have a beer, take a nap, read some more. Plus you always wind up in the middle of town.

Uh oh. You defended a train. It’s been nice knowing you.

You either get the dark reference, or you don’t. Whether it garners approval in an open forum is not my concern.
