@Jupiter0I saw the world's largest train switcher today, processing 10,000 cars per day, switching 3,000 between tracks. It's 8 miles long, 1.5 miles wide. It opened in about 1870. There's enough track in there to make a railroad from Denver to Omaha (I think? :thinkies:). CHOO! (Cc @melody for the train stuff)
