Spanish transportation officials resign over a big goof up. Newly ordered train cars are too big to fit through some tunnels there. The new cars were designed too wide to fit older tunnels. It will take at least two years to redesign the cars which are too wide. Sort of a take off a model railroader making his tunnels too small to take double stacks,
I had seen mention of this elsewhere. Still shaking my head, that anyone could make such a gigantic mistake.
I heard, but I'm too lazy to verify, that the cars weren't actually built yet. But since the design was already finalized, doing the re-design was still going to cost a ton of money and time. Mike
Governments, through grand agencies and administrations, are oft succumbed. A certain orbiting telescope comes to mind, with error tiny in magnitude, yet gigantic in consequence to both reputation and resolution. While private enterprise whirls sports cars 'round Mars.
