Google Translate renders "snelpaardeloossonderspoorwegpetroolrijtuig" as "Fast horseless under-railway petrol carriage." The article jokingly implies that the lengthy word was coiled up in the hold of a freighter, like a cable being shipped.
The horseless carriage is known in Holland as the snelpaardeloossonderspoorwegpetroolrijtuig. This information would have come sooner, but the freight steamer on which it was coiled had insufficient horsepower and there was delay in transmission.
