Train in Downtown Brno, Czech Republic.

What’s that chugging alongside cars in the streets of the Czech city of Brno? Apparently, the city had tried to move the train stations and tracks out of the downtown area but ran out of money, so until then, the trains will keep on coming around the bend … and intersections!

Wow, that’s a great photo! Believe it or not, that’s the town where I was born.

(P.S.) On the Russian website there are shots of many types of “Street Trains,” which aren’t that odd for Europe since many cities have trolley/public transit tracks at street level. The steam trains pictured may have been a historic or museum piece being transported to another city, since there appears to be a police escort ahead of all the old locomotives but not the newer (diesel?) ones.

in the 10th picture down in the site, the man standing next to the red car appears to be HUGE. something’s not right.
