A railway, a railway!
The two boys smiled happily.
How fun it is
to ride on a train,
and they could take
their bikes with them.
Only a short trip,
but that was fine,
always lucky to be on holiday,
as they grinned again.

This image shows a scene from a railway station. The platform on the photographer’s side is empty, and you can see a train on the opposite side, leaving, engulfed in smoke/fog.

They seem to be a couple of adventurous boys. I hope they have fun as they ride the train. Thanks Chris for joining in.

We used to go downtown in Seattle on their metro train. Before that when my kids were small.

I know that photo is moody and it didn’t really fit, but I couldn’t help myself to write about those two boys again, and having them on holiday. Oops is all I can say!

Yes indeed. Several names and several continents – one at the north, one at the south and the other one is both north and south! Great trains.

You reminded me of two things. One my Twin Nephes on a holiday train. And also a local town that lets you take your bike on (a special car) the train and then you get to ride your bike – mostly flat trail back to the begining. I’ve not done that. I think someone told me it was about an 8-10 mile ride back.
