vintage postcards
A souped up French train with a 25,000-horsepower engine and special wheels broke the world speed record for conventional rail trains! It reached 357.2 mph as it zipped through the countryside !It roared like a jet plane, with sparks flying overhead and left the world in it's dust.
Editor: Japan’s magnetically levitated trains are still faster.
Marie: I said CONVENTIONAL rail train! You really chap my hide buddy! Vive la France:)

Je suis monté un train deux fois par jour quand j'étais à New York City la semaine dernière que je l'ai juste aimé ! Je ne peux pas attendre pour le faire de nouveau.
Now that's fast! ;)
Pictures of trains are one of my favorite things. :o) ♥ ∞
We no more see the name of railway stations we go through !
Travel seems still long when you have 3 young children to occupy inside the train coach : )
