This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

In Romania, CFR makes DB look like the most competent shining lights of progress by comparison.

Track that hasn't been properly maintained since the fall of communism (and we keep lowering max speeds because of it). Rolling stock consisting of hand-me-downs. Constant engine breakdowns.

And the worst part? Due to political shenanigans finding inventive new ways to siphon money out of the company, it's still managed to find a way to go bankrupt again, meaning another government bailout.
