Default Possible Wehrmacht armoured train found?

Gold or no gold, the archaeological implications of this find are quite impressive, hopefully it will be in good condition.

Been following this for a few days in the papers; seems to ring true. Let's hope it's not mined but I cant believe the Russians didn't grab it all in 70+ years.

Default Rain delays search for legendary Nazi train in Poland

Quote:
WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Explorers searching for a legendary Nazi "gold train" say that rain has delayed digging in southern Poland.
The excavation work, using heavy machinery, began last week in the city of Walbrzych, in southwestern Poland. No train has been detected. Two explorers claim they have located a train in a hidden tunnel there. A local legend says it could be a World War II Nazi treasure train.

Well,I hope they can find the treasure.

Yes I thought the idea had been officially dismissed; perhaps not. If not then that's very exciting and I'll be watching this space...
