              Wixhausen is not just a train station (actually there is not even really a train station there anymore, just an S-Bahn stop) but a small village of approximately 6,000 inhabitents.

                      Intercourse, Pennsylvania was originally called Cross Keys. The town changed its name to attract tourists.

                      It worked.
