The Germans like to laugh about their railways, and sometimes they even despair over them, but they still have a special relationship that borders on affection. This book humorously explores the original world of locomotives, switches, tracks, and signals, as well as the people who operate them. It not only offers more than 100 jokes but also presents curious facts and riddles related to rail transport. Numerous illustrations, drawings, and photos complement this affectionate view of a mode of transportation that remains progressive even after 200 years.
