English to German: Crouch Line Called Craziest Railroad
Source text - English Of America's many unusual railroads perhaps none was stranger than the very short, very crooked Crouch Line in the Black Hills. This 30-mile-long railroad chugged from Rapid City to Mystic up twisting Rapid Canyon. Nearly every rail was curved to fit the canyon. A train would make the equivalent of 14 complete circles on every trip to Mystic. And people joked about the Crouch Line. They said its bends were so sharp that the brakeman on the rear car could receive a chew of tobacco from the engineer in the locomotive. They said some part of every train was always over a bridge. Indeed, there were 110 bridges on the line, or nearly four every mile.
Translation - German Von Amerikas vielen ungewöhnlichen Eisenbahnen war wahrscheinlich keine seltsamer als die sehr kurze, sehr gekrümmte Crouch-Strecke in den Black Hills. Diese 50 Kilometer lange Eisenbahn puffte in der sich windenden Rapid-Schlucht von Rapid City nach Mystic. Beinahe jede Schiene war gebogen, um sich der Schlucht anzupassen. Auf jeder Fahrt nach Mystic musste ein Zug sich sozusagen vierzehn Mal um die eigene Achse drehen. Und die Leute machten Witze über die Crouch-Strecke. Sie sagten, ihre Krümmungen seien so scharf, dass der Bremser auf dem hintersten Wagen einen Tabakpriem vom Lokführer in der Lokomotive abbekommen könnte. Sie sagten, ein Teil des Zuges sei immer auf einer Brücke. Es gab wirklich 110 Brücken auf dieser Strecke, was mehr als zwei Brücken pro Kilometer entspricht.
