I Love Railways

I was brought up on the railways. I was really surprised to see the electric that has been installed. Soon there will be electric trains in my country.

I took a train trip across the US. It was magical

I had to write an essay in Year 9 about a train ride across the USA and what I would see. I expect it was rubbish! @MountainMonk89

@Hepsie Well, it didn't pass EVERY national monument, but the fact that train is something of an outmoded travel method here in the US, it harkened back to an older time.

@Hepsie I must object, a train trip across the US is indeed nice. A train trip across Canada is even nicer.

A train across Wales is infinitely more intetesting. Do trains across Canada stop in farmyards. Do trains in the US stop so the guard can put down the barriers to the traffic? @allsfinebime2

@Hepsie The trains stop outside of farm yard and yes the crossings have mechanical gates on them when they need to cross traffic intersections.

Ok. Here the guard stops the traffic. So the train stops twice. Once to stop the cars and then to let them go. @allsfinebime2
