    Why does it seem so american to me to say "melting pot of cultures and religions“ and then only mention christianity in the next sentence? 😂

    Beeching did not understand ticketting: demanding that tickets sold at termini must cover the costs of the line. Many termini are at the seaside; customers buy tickets at home to travel TO the seaside; that would not be taken into account. Many branchlines to the coast would have been profitable if the incoming traffic was included. It's the overall picture that mattered.

    Beeching stated that the 1955 plan had failed, but it did initialize the modernisation of the signalling, which, over time, reduced costs astronomically.

    The power company at Bemidji Minnesota was so desperate for additional boiler capacity at one point during WWII that a retired steam locomotive was brought alongside the plant and lines run from its boiler into the plant.

    Clarkson: May!, keep working that fire, pressure's dropping. May: How about you try and fire this thing for a change Clarkson, I've been doing it since we departed. Clarkson: Just put your back into it May!. Hammond how's the main line looking? Hammond: ZZZzzzzZZzzzZZ Clarkson: Oh, sh!t, he fell asleep. Uh, MAY, could you try and wake up Hammond for me, I need to keep pressure up! May: If you want pressure then I can't stop firing, wake him up yourself. *The train passes by the lamps placed by the circus train's crew* Clarkson: SH!T, THOSE ARE WARNING LAMPS, HAMMOND WAKE UP! Hammond: What, huh. May: TAKE COVER! *The wreck happens* *The dust starts to settle as fire rages in the background* Clarkson: Hammond, you blithering idiot!

    Is that a old picture of the National Railroad Museum in Green Bay at 3:26? Look at the small track in front of the cars. The museum used to have a 12" or 15" miniature railroad going around the park. This might be from the first few years of operation. Notice, no engine either. Also note the small octagon building just to the right of the cars; that looks like the old admission building before the Lenfestey Center was built, when there was only the depot and open displays.

      'football' is any ball sport played on foot (rather than on horseback like polo... ), though for various reasons doesn't include those played with bats like baseball, cricket, etc. The 'foot' in the name Explicitly refers to the 'not mounted' part. The ball part is somewhat more self explanitory. The confusion comes from everyone refusing to actually Use The Name Of Their Sport. European football is (mostly/a variant of) Association Football (and 'soccer' is an English term, not an american one, derrived from 'asSOCiation'). American football? Well, to the best of my knowledge that's propperly called 'Gridiron', though 'American Football' is good enough. Rugby? ... well, that one has a name of it's own, though like 'soccer' is a shortening of the origional full name: Rugby Football (named for the place it was initially mostly played). And on the list goes. They're all football! stop insisting that some of them aren't, and stop insisting that any of them don't have Actual Proper Names that aren't Just Football.
