The tortoise and the train
Lovably minor bit of news from Aichi prefecture over the weekend. A signal on a stretch of train line stuck and refused to turn green for an express train; on getting out to investigate, the driver found a 20-cm-long tortoise lodged in the points. The report doesn’t relate whether it was affected by its ordeal, but apparently all was fine once it was extracted.
