How do you turn around a train engine, on a turntable. Drive it on, pivot 180 degrees, and drive it off. An amazing piece of engineering. Why this one has a disco ball hanging from it, I have no idea? Any idea why?
No clever answer from me but points to MM. Now if you had the readership of John Gray of Wales, there would be some ripper answers. But I won't underestimate your commenters.
There was a turntable not far from where I live. They decided the train was no longer profitable and pulled up tracks. Maybe someone thought it would be funny to have a disco ball turning with the table? The old ball and train?
Maybe that one belongs to the Soul Train

Very good, this was in the middle of Folsom California, in a park.
DeleteI too saw the photo and immediately wondered why on earth a disco ball was there.
ReplyDeleteI suspect the Nargles are behind it.
