A bit off topic, but what's the difference between candy and chocolate???

If you mean that stuff you Americans call chocolate...
No need to be snobby. There are different chocolatiers in the world. And different folks have different tastes.
(or, as my mom used to say: "Don't yuck someone else's yum.")

Don't get me started on chocolate.
Oh, no, too late.
As something of a chocolate connoiseur (and a 16stone stomach to prove it), I can categorically state that Belgian Chocolate is the best in Europe. My family and I had a stroll around the chocolatiers in Brussels last month, and partook of various samples. Interesting to note that the very top of the range chocolatiers (eg Neuhaus) don't feel the need to give samples. However, some other decent ones do, including Leonidas and Art du Chocolate. Bruges is also another excellent city to visit for chocolate shops (50+), and also has the Frietmuseum (the Museum of Chips/French Fries).
Eagles, if you happen to be in NYC, Washington DC or Richmond VA, Leonidas have stores in those cities (and others in the US, Chicago, San Francisco, Houston, Portland etc).
I have sampled Swiss, which I would rank second, on a visit to Basel last year.
British comes a poor third, IMHO.

Ah Swiss, Also very nice. I am probably going to Zurich next year, so I shall hunt out their shop there.
It appears to the human eye that they have laid down ramps for the train to go over.
But in reality i think all they are doing is using the 'ramp lookalike things' to shield them self from getting electrocuted. That is all. I think they are in the shape of a ramp is a coincidence.

Those don't appear to be 'electrified' rails at all. And at least in the US, the '3rd' rail is the one with the electricity in it.
Looks to me like they are trying to protect the hose.

Heh, protecting fire water hose with plastic ramps from least 40 tons of train with sharp rail wheels....hmm, that'll work....
