Mythbusters found that motorbikes create more air pollutants than cars do

On a recent episode where they examined the issue of whether cars or motorbikes produce more pollutants, the finding was that while motorbikes produce less carbon dioxide than cars because they burn less fuel than cars for the same distance traveled, they actually produce a lot more emissions of other kinds.

The Aftershow discussion on this episode is here

With consecutive class numbers: C10, C11 and C12.  An umbrella is on the right for English railfans :-)

It would have been an even bigger mess if a train had been coming.  A commuter train passes the scene where a lorry came off a road and onto railway tracks in Buckinghamshire on the West Coast Mainline, England.  More such pics on this Telegraph (UK) webpage

Goteik railway viaduct, Burma

Spelt variously as Goteik, Gohteik and Gokteik, this 689-metre (2,260 ft) viaduct, approximately 100 km northeast of Mandalay, was built over 1889-1900 by Pennsylvania and Maryland Bridge Construction for the Burma Railroad Company; the steel came from the USA. The height of the bridge as measured from the rail deck to the ground on the downstream side of the tallest tower is 102 metres (335 ft).
