But I am remembering old days - growing up and always travelling by rail. Now, other odd, unfathomable rail sounds seem to intrude and the unexpected back jolt motion does nothing for serendipity. The Melbourne trains are tired and they're still being whipped into performance mode.<br />Love the grooved perspective of the rails in your photo!Gemma Wisemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466540188839321484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-35693128850087505212012-10-02T22:04:35.495-04:002012-10-02T22:04:35.495-04:00I love your shot and have a few from Via rail of m...I love your shot and have a few from Via rail of my own. There is a sense of comfort traveling by train, you just don't get it in a car, plane or boat. fredamanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12445217103291725907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-57535817896106630792012-10-02T20:27:24.464-04:002012-10-02T20:27:24.464-04:00I love travelling by rail, but in Australia, we do...I love travelling by rail, but in Australia, we don't have (in NSW at least) suitable 'fast rail' alternatives, so its a slow old affair. Whats more, CityRail, the day-to-day commuter offering, is really chasing its tail a little - sure we are having new rolling stock introduced, but its long overdue (delayed) and well over budget; but thats a discussion for another time!Berniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05929225891685150295noreply@blogger.com
