<P>But sometimes reality is funnier than joke... do
you know why Spanish railroads are wider than the
European ones? Because a genious-general had the great
idea that if they made those railroads so wide,
Frenches wouldn't have enough guts to invade the
peninsule (once more) as they couldn't supply a
hipothetic modern occupation army by train. Today, we
have to change train any time we try to go across the
Pyrenees... (well, you can go get the TALGO and pay
for such a "comfort"). Fortunately, soon my city will
be linked with the civilisated world with a TGV with
regular wide!<BR><BR></P></DIV>
I've told that in Australia every state has its own
railroad wide. I think it is not a question of fearing
a military invasion but a commercial one. Have you
heard about Protectionism? (and who were the most
protectionists in the Peninsula).
