I Love Trains

Well I told you I love trains. Last summer I found a t shirt with a pic of a NY subway train. And the skyscrapers of NY in the background. I bought it! I wear it a lot in the summer! On the front it says SS Shuttle Prospect Park. And so I googled it and it’s a real line! It just goes a few stations and Prospect Park is a very beautiful park in Brooklyn! Any one know it?

I don’t know of that train, but I have ridden the train coast to coast. And from LA to Seattle

It’s just a short line on the NY subway system. What is it like to travel such distances? I live in a tiny country! @jackson55

@Hepsie From the east coast in the US to the West is 3200 miles. With the stops along the way it takes the train almost 4 day to cross.

Really. In my country four hours is a long journey like Swansea to Shrewsbury! I think it’s our longest journey! @jackson55

@Hepsie Texas is probably bigger than your country.

Hepsie · 22-25, F

Texas is probably 20 times bigger. Or a 100 times bigger. I have no idea! 1000 times bigger! In my country we know each other! @jackson55

@Hepsie Texas is 600 miles/1000km’s across. One can drive it in one long day.

We can drive our whole island in ten hours and the roads are rubbish! @jackson55
