Strange, to say the least, trains.

Why did the chickens cross the tracks?

Interesting. I wonder what country it is in . The "goats" at the end are actually sheep.

Sorry about that David. They all look the same to me. :wink:
How about those chickens; they look like roosters to me. One of them steps on the rail crossing the track. That's a safety rule violation in my part of the world.

"Politia de Frontiera." I wonder what language that is. Those clips might have been from different countries.

Seriously, I saw one video recently where the seats in the first class car looked as though they were upholstered in sheepskin. It might have been in New Zealand.

There was a car with sheepskin covers seats it was called the Connoisseur Express and was on the coastal Pacific train.

Thank you for that ExCon90. I wonder if those weird vehicles on the rails are Romanian. I know nothing about the language. Many years ago, when I was touring Portugal, a passerby I was talking to told me that Romanian sounds like Portugese, but gibberish, with no Portugese meaning. That "Politia de Frontiera" fooled me; at first glance I thought it was Spanish.

possibly it is this line.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moc%C4%83ni%C8%9B%C4%83" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I have lots of memories of Romania in the 1990's. Dracula castles , buying cheese on mountain roads, and riots and tear gas (the only time I have felt the effects of tear gas , it wafted down into the underground metro I was riding)

You've had an interesting life, David. Dracula castle sounds like a nice place to stay. Is it a hotel by any chance?

Bran Castle looks cozy to me.
