I know its a shitpost, but there are a couple tiny railways in Antarctica from many decades ago that are no longer used. source
Here's where the three railways mentioned in that article are, for anyone else who was curious https://i.imgur.com/7t4WpQ0.png
Holy shit! There's a railway line that connects all 3 with nothing in between??? Shit man. I heard they get negative 60 degree winds. Must be a hell of a scary ride! No wonder they don't use it anymore....
If I were to find all the most common phrases in this community, "I know it's a shitpost, but..." would be near the top.
(Seriously though, that's interesting. Thanks for sharing.)
Reddit had a habit of severely siloing subreddits. You'd get banned from a shitpost sub for saying something factual.
I'm not going to bother downloading this; it updates too frequently.
On the plus side the train is never late.
So, there's a rail line throughout the entire coastline? Interesting...
But not one station. You just have to try to jump on and hope you get lucky.
The GTA5 method...
Penguins will help you to soft-land (is this even a word?).
Damned car lobby keeping us from high speed rail in Antarctica. Just try looking up walking directions on Google maps, you just know it'll have you going all sorts of ways because there no pedestrian infrastructure!
Antarctica has a rail line along the entire coast line? That's fancy, to bad it has no stations though, probably you just hop on while the train is going.
I'm surprised that train can effortlessly reach Marie Byrd Land. It's so hard to get there that no colonizing country claimed it. And until 2048, nobody CAN claim it.
Shortest RT video ever.

I'm assuming RM Transit, though I've never seen it abbreviated to RT

I'm waiting for a Jay Foreman Every Station song.
For a second I read that as America, and I thought, eh, pretty close.
Reindeer, polar bears, and arctic foxes really need to step up their engineering game.
I'm sure they're doing all they can already.
which way is north??
Yes.
All of them
What a cunt xD
And for the record, I've never rode a single mile on that track, so I am one of the people who have least road it. I would describe it's whole existence and service in black and white if there was anything black about it.
