Wow! They actually change the wheels??!!? Seems like it would be easier to just make everyone get off and get back on a car that had the correct wheels. Gee, I never heard of this.

But I do know the Europeans know a lot more about trains than we Americans do. That's one of the things I love about visiting Europe. When Terry and I were in Switzerland on vacation, we had a pass that let us go anywhere in Switzerland on the train, and we used it everyday. It got to the point where the one day we decided to take the car, we started wondering what were we thinking because the train is so much easier. Of course it helped that the train stop was just right up the hill from where we were staying.
