Random Railroad Quotes, Quips, Trivia, Laws:
A Texan was bragging to an Englishman about how big Texas is. "Why you could get on a train in east Texas on Monday morning, head due west all day Monday, continue overnight, and still be in Texas at sunset Tuesday," she said. The Englishman replied that you could do the same in England. The trains were just as slow there.  Anon  -
