For Black Friday I'll declare a "super wild card" absolutely anything that's made you smile, providing you can argue its relevance to real world railways.

As Assistant Treasurer of our local tram society - A tram in Messina. It's relevance to railways? It runs on rails.

A different type of train (also in Messina, Italy)

MAJOR wheelspin, must have been sitting stationary with the wheels spinning for a few minutes. The famous "Blue Peter" Durham spin was memorable, bit nothing like this.

Oh I see. That looks like some serious track maintenance needed.

My guess would be that was caused by a six wheel bogie diesel "helper" either behind or in the train. If it was a manned banker the driver had better hope they find a fault in the traction control if he wants to keep the job.

[Sorry to bring this forward. What did cause it? The only thing I can think of is very hot wheels which became stationary].
What happens when the real railways got their hands on a Relco electronic track cleaner... and the loco still didnt go!
OK. Back to the last post... The wildcard!
