About 5 minutes ago, a very strange looking train went past, it was completly yellow in color and the front and back were slanted at 45 degree angles.
It looked almost brand new and someone had tagged BR1 on the back in black, Had a small front cabin and a massave plain glass window in the rear section, It was about half the size of a normal train and was tooting it's horn every 10 seconds (i could hear it coming for about 10 minutes away) The very strange thing about this train is it lookd like an office on wheels, it went passed fairly slowly and there was a man standing inside with a mug in his hand, and by the looks of it, a fileing cabinet and a few posters on the walls and a computer screen!!.
I've never seen anything like it, and was wondering if anyone else has? i live on Nepean highway in Aspendale, victoria along the coast..
Anyone seen or heard this thing???
(by the way, i'm serious, not insane =D)

Must be a glitch. Sounds like you just saw the G-Man.

What makes it annoying? Not the shade of yellow you would prefer?
Maybe it was a prototype using alien technology.
If Mulder & Scully are in the country to release their new movie, maybe we can get them onto it
one of these? If so, it's the new VL41 Regional Fast Train for Victoria.

VL maaaate?hehe
pity ya didnt get a pic of it with the dude in the mobile train office!
track inspection/maintenance
That's what i'm thinking...
And to one of the other blokes, it's annoying because it has the loudest horn i've ever heard, it woke me up about 10 minutes before it actually came through...
half the freight trains do it too, the beep their horn every 10 seconds or so... F***ers

What an awkward spot to mount a big screen tv.
I'm no train designer, nor creator of timeless art pieces, but that is the ugliest train (carriage) I have ever seen. Bar none.
sounds like doc brown is at it again

I was just talking to a mate who's into trains, and he dug up some dirt on it...

Apparently its used for track measurement, which explains the huge window in the back.
Doesn't change the fact that its bloody ugly though!
