In North America it’s “switching.” That’s when a train is taken apart and individual cars are delivered to destination or “switched” into another train. So it’s also the term for assembling a train from cars collected from shippers/other trains.

Yeah, that would’ve been cut from a movie script as being too unlikely. Terrific emotion in both Toyota & Porsche pits, congrats to Porsche, don’t know what I’d say to the Toyota crew...
Not trying to make him perfect (the last thing he’d try to claim, again outside his humor). Just that his arrogance and anger were not unexpected and even reasonable under the circumstances. Yes, his treatment of Frazier and I believe more than a few others (I seem to recall similar comments about Liston?) was…
Considering his line of work, wouldn’t one expect a healthy self-regard was a requirement? I’ve never seen/heard/read of any instances of arrogance in his post-career life (beyond joking allusions).
Holding my breath the last 5 laps. This race was just what Indycar needed to maybe start the road back to what it was. And Rossi could be its face...or Haas F1?
Ah, good call. I guess it was the way the damn thing dragged out for days - and the other deaths, of course - made it seem worse than it was. The fact that I could remember those names - even a pit crew member! - indicates...something, I guess.
Ah, good call. I guess it was just the way it went on for days - and all the other deaths, of course - that made it seem worse than it actually was.
This was certainly the worst crash I can recall seeing (even though we didn’t see much of how it started), but ‘73 was the worst Indy. Art Pollard killed in qualifying, rain that delayed the start four hours, doomed attempts to restart the race, the deaths of Salt Wather, Swede Savage, and Armando Teran, more rain…
How long did it take to ban open-wheel designs that had the pedals ahead of the front axle?
What idiot judges a place by sports teams? A lack of “major” sports should be a point in a locale’s favor.
I’ve heard John Deeres sound sexier.
Well, very few of us would get to work in the morning, for starters. Not saying that’s a BAD thing.
Yeah, what he said. This is a great deal for that one very specific buyer (not me, but still).
Damn. Have to wonder how many built and how many left? Would be a great bragging point for a fanatic collector.
Sure. But editors are a vestigial remnant from dead-tree newspapers. An expensive, useless gatekeeper between writer and reader in the online world.
When you open with “A guy I met in class” you’re halfway there.
Back when this ad ran, 7th grade me approved.
Wait, you’re bitching about grammar on the Internet? Good one.
So, the team bribed to move to St Louis 20 years ago is bribed to move elsewhere, and you’re shocked? Are you new to this country?
