When I was little I thought that trains crossed from one track to another like you could do with cars in Scalextric, by the driver shifting a joystick to the left or right.
Nobody told me they had connecting tracks at junctions!
A childhood belief about trains
others believed things like this
- My mom would tell me to stay off the railroad tracks because the trains were silent and super fast.— Roger
- I thought the no overtaking sign meant that red cars cannot drive by black cars.— Helen
- When trains (subways) go underground, my little sister thought that the lights were shooting stars.— Katie
- I thought small cars grew up to become big cars— carhugger
- i used to believe that if you put a penny on a train tracks that it would derail it — ROSS
- I thought that people were like cars because cars have exhaust pipes, and people fart.— Matt
