There were actually a few houses in Farnham that had trains right up against them like this. Line has been discontinued so no rumbling in the middle of the night

It was the first drive thru. Mrs. McFarlan made a small fortune selling coffee and donuts to the engineers.

Looks to me like a good structure, but the design of the hold down bolts appears a little wanting.

The West Highland Line in Scotland. Spot the difference between the two!

The Qinghai-Tibet railway: The world’s highest train line

The train climbs to 5702 metres and terminates in Lhasa Tibet . Looks quite exotic.

Trip of a lifetime for us. Our families both have history in Scotland, most of it not good. The train trip on The Royal Scotsman, was as close to being treated like royalty as we can ever expect. Food, service, scenery and history all rolled into one adventure. I think they had over 100 different brands of Scotch on board. I even got to sit in the engine for several hours as we followed a fiord, I was the authorized Whistle man!
