Visited Turku with train issues
I was visiting Turku on Tuesday on business — had an excellent day business-wise, by the way.
Anyhow, we took train from Helsinki to Turku and enjoyed surprisingly good mobile internet connection all the way. Coming back was a completely different adventure.
The previous train had collided with an elk and its brakes’ got stuck. You can’t really move train forward or backward while it’s braking. And the railroad there has only one track. So we sat there like ducks. And happened to be in such place that our fancy mobile internet was bit patchy.
After waiting almost two hours there, we finally got moving. I am still wondering how an elk can hit train so bad that it takes two hours to fix the damage.
