Will TPeople who have taken the European Sleeper between Bruxelles-Midi and Berlin Hbf: I guess arriving in Bruxelles at 18:05 will leave enough time to catch the 19:22 sleeper? #trains #trainstodon
Eivind (like the Terrible) ✨The Norwegian railway has a "signal error" code, a daily occurence in the Oslo metropolitan area these days. The error does not, however, as one might assume, mean there's something wrong with the railway signalling itself. It just means there's *something* wrong *somewhere*, and you're not getting the green light until it's sorted. It's the error code that indicates there's been an error. #NorwayFacts #Trainstodon

Does #MastoTrain exist as a hashtag? Or #TrainStodon? Anyway, moral of the story is that the Amaterasu Railway is running their engines on old Ramen broth (or the fatty parts of it, more accurately), so the exhaust smells like fried rice -- and OH BOY do I have a new place to visit!
