Pics!

for Wordless Wednesday and bloghops various!

.

Over at Friday Fictioneers last week, Rochelle’s prompt was a photo of trains in a station taken by David Stewart. It made me think, (I do occasionally) – how about I rummage through my archives and find some trains I’ve snapped over the years? All aboard!

.

.

.

We’ll start in Morocco and jump on the Express to Marrakesh!

.

Now to Peru, and heading for Machu Piccho. I was in the rear carriage and took it from the window as we went round a bend in the river.

.

This was one of the many trains I’ve travelled on in India.

.

It was an overnight journey. Welcome to my sleeper cabin!

.

That’s me on the left as we tried to enter a very crowded station!

 

Here we are at a station in Beijing, China from where we took the bullet train to Xian.

.

.

.

Hold tight!

.

Here are my travelling companions as we waited to board an overnight train to somewhere else in China!

.

I took these from the front of a driverless train in Dubai.

,

.

Meanwhile, back in the UK, there’s a steam train in leafy Somerset.

.

…and if you look hard enough you might just make out a narrow gauge railway with a little-but-long train in the wilds of Kent!

.

Finally a picture I took an hour or so ago at the station around the corner from me! The train was bound for London town, and just for once it was on time!

.

All together now…

.

Here’s The Last Train to Linkville!

    We also did the Bejing to Xian – did everyone cheer when you cracked 300? It was funny. We had a few ooooh! when it got close and then dropped down and then a big cheer and applause when we cracked 300. (Weirdly when we hit 320 no one cared.) I was a little disappointed when we rode the Shinkansen it wasn’t a community experience. That said, I found the Chinese all to be about a good time. They were very fun party people. So of course even transport had to be fun! (the blue train looks amazing!!)

      Everybody clapped their hands and cheered! I found the Chinese to be some of the nicest people I’ve met on my travels, always there to help when needed and never without a smile!

    Nice trains are such a fun way to travel. In Germany dogs can go with you on the trains, here that is not allowed unless they are a service dog. Mom has traveled on trains a lot but not in scary places like India. She likes things neat and tidy. I got to search old trains at a nose work trial a year ago and it was a lot of fun.

      That must have been fun! There would be lots to sniff on Indian trains, especially if you like curry!

    You are indeed the ‘Travelin’ Man’! That sleeper car left a lot to be desired! Thank you, dear Keith, for bringing these fabulous photos to us, especially those of us who no longer travel.

      That was a private sleeper cabin and I shared it with several mice! It was quite an experience!

      Thanks for the song – I like it!

        Most welcome, dear Keith!
        I imaging mice would be wonderful traveling companions. They don’t take up a lot of space, they don’t eat much and they are very quiet. 🐭

    They are great photos of the trains. We watch a lot of train journeys from all over the world on You Tube The bullet train looks weird, but it’s top speed is amazing.
