"DOTC-PNR. Do not delay."

Extras:
- To learn more about skates, read this blog made by students as a quite cute project.
- A couple of skate shots in this collection of rail photos.
- An article about skate eradication, with a small review ("I thought it was quite a pleasant ride until there was a train heading toward us.").
