Rumor has it, it's loaded with gold
Quotethe treasure hunters' lawyer, Jaroslaw Chmielewski, said the finding was of "global importance, comparable to that of the Titanic."

What about the Ark of the Covenant or the Grail?
In the news here they claim the tunnel is loaded with all sorts of booby traps. So yeah, there is a certain Indiana Jones - ish- about it
Been following this news.
Terrible story, if typical of the Nazis, apparently the family whose house was right alongside of the tracks and had excellent visuals on the area were murdered, presumably to eliminate witnesses.
Hopefully they'll manage to extract this without further loss of life.
Still waiting for the wargame "Panzerzuege: German Armored Trains" to emerge from this news story.
Bah, if it is there it will be as empty as Geraldo's vault. ::)
Let us hope not. I'd like to read about some lost, priceless object d'arte that I've never heard of has been recovered and returned to a museum.
Yeah, I think I found this train already in Medal of Honor on my PS 1. It should be safe as I offed all the Nazi guards with my Thompson and a few Med Packs. ;D

If it's one of the lost portraits of
'the King in Yellow', especially the 'second' one, I'll pass.
Maybe the Amber Room is in there!

Nah. That's in the Kremlin's basement. Second door to the left.
Poland's claims on the train are going to be interesting if there are actually stolen art pieces aboard - the legal battles would probably last decades.
Should there be any gold, a few bars of should go on display in a museum, the rest should be liquidated to pay reparations to any surviving holocaust, and other war crimes victims and their families.

It'll be Jimmy Hoffa and Emilia Earhart buried with the Library Of Alexandria and the Honjo Masamune.

The harpy took that to the 9th circle of Hell.
Maybe Pauly Shore's next hit movie is hidden down there somewhere.
