That is cool. My grandfather was a engineer in Chicago back in the day. He retired in the 70s. He had the privilege of driving the last steam engine on his line. 😀

That is the way it is. I wished my grandparents were still alive because now I have soooo many questions about a lot of things that left this world when they passed away. As kids, we are too busy being kids. 🙂

Hi Cee, I like the boy on his bike. Not just because he’s wearing an orange shirt, but he’s balancing on two wheels. I’ve never been about to do that.

I think he was actually still riding….just slowly. Who knows he could have been balancing. 😀

I’m missing travelling by train at the moment, so it’s great to see your lovely photos See. That peek into the carriage is really captivating.
I’ve gone underground in China – it’s a lot more glitzy than most underground train rides. https://travelwithintent.com/2020/06/18/below-the-bund/
