My morning routine of checking NHK had me seeing an article that was posted last night (JST) but I didn't do a before-bed NHK check because of that law stuff I was researching, as noted in my other post.

Should also be noted that this is an especially busy time for Japan Rail, as we are in a special holiday period.
Anyway, I am sure of the craftiness of snakes and I'd bet that this snake bet her/his friends he could stop that high speed train, and succeeded. Crafty, isn't it? Can't just try being on the track or it is snake heaven and can't collect the 5 rats that were the bet. Nope, snake climbed up one of those poles and got out on the wire and that snake's family gets free meal from the bet won.
Hope that translation link works.
