Spiegel Online had a
railroad quiz today. The Quiz is in German, and covers geography and locations in Germany. Of course, I had to try it and got
Sie haben 9 von 10 Punkten.
Abgefahren! Sie kennen sich wirklich verdammt gut aus auf
deutschen Schienen zwischen Nord und Süd und Ost und West. Uns würde es
nicht wundern, wenn Sie auch ein Faible für Kursbücher hegen und
heimlich Fahrpläne auswendig lernen.
Rough translation:
You got 9 out of 10 points.
Great! You know German rails damn well between North and South and East and West. We wouldn't be surprised, if you'd like studying "Kursbuecher" (the complete schedules of German railways), and secretly memorize train schedules.
Hmmm in fact, I do like digging through my 1979 edition of the Kursbuch for Baden-Wuerttemberg, and I do know the schedule of passenger trains (Caltrain and Amtrak) through south San Jose by heart...
