Image of a hybrid steam/maglev train, on blocks resembling Stonehenge with the caption "Quick! Dismantle it! Romans are coming!"

Is that your own image or one you have found?

I would love to tweet it and tag a couple of archeologists and historians that I know but don't want to run into copyright issues.

This is a very old image, that I saw (or something very like it) decades ago.

There was a Punch cartoon on the same theme way back.

For more on this theme try an internet search for "Stonehenge Railway Slim Gauge Circle". (I am having difficulty attaching a link for some unfathomable reason.)
