    Railway changes orange strip to avoid Dutch mix-up

    No disrespect intended for the Dutch, but that does not speak very highly of the level of intelligence for that group of soccer fans. Reminds me of a bunch of lemmings. I wonder how much it cost the railroads to have to go out and purchase all new vests in a different color.

    Pre-Ordered a big boy
