Trains

I figured as much, im more of a car person, but to me it seems like a good portion tend to be fixated on trains. They are impressive and i have countless amount of books on them which my son likes going through. Not to far way from me they have a museum of some old trains (their all running) and you can go for a ride on them im planning on taking him soon.

I very much enjoy seeing trains, and like to see pictures of active steam locomotives,
such that I could be someone more inclined to read about them and watch for their
passage. I seem to enjoy hearing of others who are engaged with them.

You got it right the first time. It's an Endeavour Railcar, stopped at Picton Station, in the Southern Highlands of NSW, Australia.

Thanks for information. Not done that route. Went on the line from Sydney to Katoomba. Taking the Indian-Pacific remains an ambition.

Went on the line from Sydney to Katoomba.

That's a frequent trip I make. Maybe not as frequent as I'd like, but frequent enough.

Taking the Indian-Pacific remains an ambition.

At one stage I used to watch it go through my home station every week. It failed last week, one of the locomotives stopped working.

Nothing like a ride on our Virginia & Truckee Railroad line.

like the train shown above.

In June, I shall be travelling on Amtrak trains across the US. Rather excited. I'm then flying from the US to Japan and riding the Shinkansen. With some more planning, after Japan, it's over to Russia and the Trans Siberian railway.
