Wonderful post and wonderful idea!
I'd really like to do the same, unfortunately I live in a country where trains are mostly pain and suffering, due to them being late, broken and overall not clean (except for the very expensive ones).
When I travel to distant lands, which happens rarely, I love to see trains and train stations. These places give me a strong feeling.
Thank you for sharing this!
Hey thanks.
I remember trains in Italy. You are in Italy I believe?
I took a train from Sicily to Catabria, and train was stuck in the middle, luckily I wasn't in a hurry, but can imagine locals don't like trains much.
Yes I live in Italy.
There's no problem if a single train get stuck, usually hurry isn't a real problem in my life but... The problem is that almost every single train here in Italy is constantly late, sometimes even an hour late, and to travel between cities you usually have to take two or more trains. So it's really easy to fail to take the next train you paid for and you can't even change your ticket with another one.
This is a shame because many of the landscapes you can enjoy on our trains are wonderful but you can't enjoy them because you are worried about the delay.
Trains could be wonderful resources here, if maintained properly.
