What were they thinking?

[Linked Image]

There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

Maybe the firefighters knew there would be no scheduled passing train in that location for a good while?

OK, but then why put the ramps over the rails?

You'd think they could simply leave the ballast from between the ties on either side of the road and just run the hose underneath the rails.

Just watch the movie "Unstoppable" and the derailleurs they tried. Blasted them apart and shrapnel takes out bunch of squad cars.
