Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

Oh, my sibling in sin, I will tell you things about railways you wouldn't believe, like a proto-railway that played a role in the 1745 Battle of Prestonpans, or rope haulage, or how the Ffestiniog Railway in Wales was designed to constantly go downhill because it was opened in the 1830s before steam locos were both powerful enough or widespread enough to be practical.
Sit down, I'm going to tell you about how the inventor of the RORO Train Ferry died in shame.
