A few years ago, Heypaul posted an image of the "leap frog" railway which I *think* actually was proposed in Brooklyn way back when where trains would literally climb over other trains to pass them. I've been looking for that one for ages and haven't been able to find it again, speaking of really weird railroading. |

There was another picture that I remember that was a little different though - looked like WWI tanks in shape. Wasn't that one, but then Heypaul. :)But good enough if that's the real deal. Thanks! |
