Each Year, Turtles Get Stuck In These Railroad Tracks -- Here Is The Cute Solution

When a number of turtles were found riding the rails close to the Suma Aqualife Park in Kobe, Japan, something was needed. Because of the park's proximity for the ocean, these cute critters often end up climbing over one of the train tracks, becoming stuck between the two.

With nowhere to travel though, they previously had to walk over the track where either these folks were go beyond by a train, or found themselves destroying railway switches. At least that was before the West Japan Railway Company came up with a remedy that has the world wide web abuzz.

For the reason that turtles could hurt themselves, the train, or switches, all causing major delays, the railway company labored with marine experts to determine a feasible and price-effective solution.
