   This is not the only moving object with these properties. An old train in Manila ran by a large area inhabited by squatters. They used to throw their trash on the top of the train, a kind of mobile dispos-ile. The train operators got wise and reshaped the train’s roof into a triangle, so that anything tossed up fell, often on the other side.
   The point, of course is that space, whether stationary or mobile, is scarce!

   Here’s another interesting train image from India:
