Double or nothing

The cement factory of Turňa nad Bodvou is capable of producing 2700 tons of cement daily.

 

That is quite a respectable amount; imagine how many trucks you would need to even transport just a fraction of it.

 

Thankfully the factory has a railway connection which it utilises greatly: most of the servicing of the plant and the delivery of the end product to other cities, countries is handled by freight trains, like the one pictured here.

 

Last Friday, the Turňa nad Bodvou - Košice - Ercsi cement train was especially lengthy, consisting of 31 wagons (if I counted correctly), so the two Bardotkas were performing their concert on full volume, filling the neighbourhood with the unmistakable rattling sound.
