cteno4 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 It was the only way for the slugs to get across the tracks in time, but sadly one had to give their life for the migration... jef Link to comment
bikkuri bahn Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) Pretty vague report by the BBC, especially given half of it refers to incidents in Europe. The incident occurred on May 30 in the Kita-Kyushu area on sections of the Kagoshima and Nippo Main Lines, and services were restored in about an hour.

cteno4 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Sorry long marine biology background... they are interesting toothed tongues! I’m surprised our resident cephalopod didn’t comment on his cousins. Jeff Link to comment
railsquid Posted June 24, 2019 Author Share Posted June 24, 2019 The only kind of slug I have any interest in, is the one on top of an early D51 boiler. 3 Link to comment
