That low flying train behind the locomotive in your picture Ham, it's built by Renfe Talgo, a Spanish company and uses a pendular suspension so when the train goes around a curve centrifugal force causes it to swing outward. In the diner (or at the bar !!!) a glass won't spill or move when this happens. It's really cool especially when you know the train is turning but your juice (or .... beer ...) stays put.
