Cable Train to Dock E

It's not well publicized, but the cable train that takes passengers to Dock E is actually powered by an elite group of 200 highly trained Swiss hamsters. Every 6 minutes the hamsters run around on their wheels and this energy is used to pull the train. As the ride takes only 3 minutes, the hamsters get a 3 minute rest after each run.

Swiss animal nutritionists have created a high energy Birchermuesli that enable the hamsters to work for up to 6 hours per day.

Not well publicized, but true!

the only problem is that 'they' (the hamsters) multiply that fast, that the 'engine'-room is always overcrowded ...
