| Imagine yourself traveling on a 1924, steam powered, oil fired, Baldwin Locomotive. Isn’t it a nice experience? Now, can you imagine being entertained by "The World's Greatest Train Singer", who plays guitar, harmonica and sings train songs? What a nice surprise for the passengers!

| How would you feel to almost miss the famous Trans Siberian Express because of not being quite fluent in Russian? That’s what a pair of English speaking tourists had to experience before getting to Mongolia, a country of beauty and marvelous scenery. Read about their journey in a train that appeared to host more boxes than people.

| Different types of stem locomotives from presented by the Nigerian Railway Corporation are in this article. Of course, not in motion, but still pretty imposing. Also, find out how the Nigerian Judo Team felt at the temperature of 18-20 degrees. For me it was just so funny:).

| Bob Burns Summer 2002 Rail Travelogue |
| Submitted by roxy on
2007-03-30 06:34:13 (via www.trainweb.com) |
| Life in motion – that would be the motto of the following article. This article describes a life from a different perspective, nights in hotels, but days in the trains where the windows serve as the most captivating spectacle. Here the notion of time loses its meaning and everything resumes at the notion of space and sensations.

| A paranoid travelogue? |
| Submitted by pablo on
2007-03-14 07:41:45 (via sandgetsinmyeyes.blogspot.com) |
| You are in the plain or in the train and you observe a suspicious, fresh shaved Arabian man, having something under his t-shirt and doing quick and nervous movements with his hands and eyes. A terrorist? Or maybe you are too paranoid? Anyway the events of 9/11 have left deep emotions on travelers.

| Traveling on a train in China is a very unique experience in itself. Especially, when interacting with the locals, you may discover that a bottle of wine will help better, then a pocket dictionary. As a tourist, this is the place where you are the big attraction, especially, for the children who get to practice their two-phrase English.
