I don't think this is what multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) used to mean. o_o

I think, it could be a Tesla.

They need electrical power....

I find it curious that people who do this get quite some distance before getting stuck, especially when they in most cases don't intend to drive along tracks, but just took a wrong turn.

So in this case, it got stuck becase the trolley pole apparently has fallen off.

Might be bug in Simutrans, then. For your information, this happened in Dortmund, Germany.

I didn't know Simutrans now features countries with real-life cities. :D

Nah, it's just a image offset problem for the car. Try recompiling the pak.

I thought it was in France - the tram (metro) display says Greve (strike).

Haha, I thought the same the first time I saw it.

It is the U42 in Dortmund, Germany, and the train goes to Grevel ...

Looks like it isn't going anywhere.

For a short while, keep in mind this is in Germany: efficiency at its finest.

But can the Germans get something so stuck that even the Germans can't unlodge it?

Ah, Ters, I like that idea and homage to the philosophical question. :)

That is the very essence of our existence. "Den Karren aus dem Dreck ziehen." Everyone seems to try that. However, no one knows why the cart is stuck in the mud, or when it became stuck in the first place. Or even what the cart or where the mud even is.

That is I think fundamentally different for the English. Their founding myth revolves about unlodging swords from stones. Even today's sticky toffee pudding offers a very solvable problem.

Is that a semi-trailer made to look as an ICE cab unit, was the ICE cab unit made to also fit as a semi-trailer, or was it just a coincidence that it could be "converted" into one? In any case, someone has been solving the wrong problem. I've noticed that railroad companies actually find it better to transport locomotives and carriages by road than by rail.

If the train drivers won't come to the train, the train must come to the driver.
