Someone else that likes trains! lol I dont know alot about the specifics and details of the trains. But i am in awe of them. I have a different opinion on the commuter trains though... think of the bullet train in Japan and tell me thats not impressive, or the trains in Europe.
My wife and I travelled across Europe via train, the most impressive was certainly Frances TGV travelling first class across rural France was something else. It does depress me how far behind Australia's rail network is, and how much more of the country could be utilised with a high speed rail network, Living rural and working in the cities would become feasible and housing much more affordable for a larger majority.
I've always wanted a model train set... :P
Train geeks! :)
I've travelled Europe by train as well. Yes, TVG in France is pretty cool. I loved the old stations, modernized, but still showing their history. We travelled in a sleeper from Salzburg to Paris overnight one time. So cool! I felt like James Bond or something. Pretty cool.
I have't been to Japan but am sure the trains there are cool. I guess all trains are ok, commuter trains just seem to bring thoughts of going to work and that sucks! :)
