"train’s body can adjust to the differing platform heights"

"wheels that can be adjusted to different widths while the train is on the move"

Can adjust 8 inches to different platform heights, wheels change gauge in route, and starting in June Shania Trains will come 4 times a day along the route.

Don't let Norfolk Southern try those tricks.

So it's a feature not a defect?  :?

Couldn't you just raise the track eight 8" on one platform to match the other one?

Song for the melody "I feel like a woman"


There's a train that's rollin'
In the Swiss Alps so high
It's the Swiss Shania Train
And it's gonna take us for a ride
From Geneva to Zurich
We'll be seeing all the sights
The Swiss Shania Train
Is gonna take us to new heights

Chorus:
Jump on board the Swiss Shania Train
It's a wild ride, it's insane
From the Alps to the valleys below
We'll be singing and dancing, don't you know
Get ready to let loose and have some fun
On the Swiss Shania Train, we've just begun

Verse 2:
The mountains are majestic
And the scenery is so grand
As we travel on this train
Across this beautiful land
With the sound of the engine
And the rhythm of the rails
We'll be singing Shania songs
And telling tales

Chorus:
Jump on board the Swiss Shania Train
It's a wild ride, it's insane
From the Alps to the valleys below
We'll be singing and dancing, don't you know
Get ready to let loose and have some fun
On the Swiss Shania Train, we've just begun

Bridge:
We're all here to celebrate
The music that we love
And we're never gonna stop
Till we reach the heavens above

Chorus:
Jump on board the Swiss Shania Train
It's a wild ride, it's insane
From the Alps to the valleys below
We'll be singing and dancing, don't you know
Get ready to let loose and have some fun
On the Swiss Shania Train, we've just begun

Outro:
So come on and join us
On this Shania Train so fine
We'll be rockin' and rollin'
Through the Swiss mountains divine.

There's a couple of passages in that article that Beavis and Butthead would like.

If they raised the track to match the platform the railroad's other trains would sit too high.  Both railroads have extensive single-line passenger service.
