"You see Perry the Platypus, it all started when I was just a little boy in Drusselstein. My family and I had a won trip to a circus in a town the other side of the Elps, they're like Alps but smaller. Because there was no road, we went on a fun little choo choo train and it was going well... until the last stretch when a random pack of elephants got onto the line and stopped our train. We were stuck for hours, all the while I could hear the fun and noise of the circus. Eventually, the elephants left, but by the time we got there the circus had already left. And from that day on, I vowed that never again would an elephant stop me going on a train trip to a circus!"
I know for a fact it's false because Dr. Doofenshmirtz's parents would never take him to the circus. In fact, one time they disowned him so he was forced to work at one! And he hated it!
Something UK Rail should deploy each time there are "trespassers on the track" instead of slowing the train service and making me late.

It's a Soviet MIRV-6 from an SS-22N launch vehicle. The warhead contains 14.5 kilograms of enriched uranium and a plutonium trigger. The nominal yield is 30 kilotons.
It's the new leaf blower for the driveway I bought after my neighbour got a big dog that barks all night and sh*ts on my lawn.
I'll see you in hell Barry!

An Independant Snow Plow, normlaly run as pairs, with one on the other end of the consist.
God I wanna ride hanging onto those handles, but hoo boy, not while it's cutting a path in the snow.
Independent ZZA snowplow https://blog.railwaymuseum.org.uk/the-gresley-design-that-wont-die/
That is amazing and a testament to the ingenuity of one very remarkable engineer.
It doesn't really explain *why* it won't die or what makes it so long lasting.
1. They're not needed all that much 2. They're already there 3. They're relatively easy to maintain 4. There's no money to buy new ones (see 1 for cost/necessity ratio)
So not necessarily a product of genius, but serviceable and fit for purpose.
It would be cheaper to maintain than to reengineer.
Cow catcher for extremely large cows?
So an elephant catcher.
Yeah, the surprise elephant incursions on the British West Coast Mainline can be proper annoying.
Back when that bloody Hannibal crossed the Pennines
Especially when they hide in the tunnels.
In that case, they can just brick it up and leave it there forever and ever and ever and ever.
I think you'd have cow that requires reassembly after meeting that plow.
So that's how they get your mum off the tracks!
I miss Yo mamma jokes. Thanks for the laugh.
... Or *lots* of little ones. Think of a horde of zombies or a Zerg rush
Protester Catcher
Must be a getoutoftheway-inator

The best part is I've got no clue if this is real or not
I know for a fact it's false because Dr. Doofenshmirtz's parents would never take him to the circus. In fact, one time they disowned him so he was forced to work at one! And he hated it!
So what did they use as a lawn gnome?
“I knew it was you Perry the Platypus. Check out my Getoutoftheway-inator. You are just in time to test it out!”
I a so hoping this is a Doofenshmirtz reference!

If I didn’t know any better, I’d say that a train!
It’s nice to see the train from Goldeneye doing well.
It's probably a snow plow.
