I'm in no way a steam buff, but I was walking by the river a couple of weeks ago when I spotted a couple of blokes waiting patiently with their cameras. This is what they were waiting to see - and who doesn't like a steam train in the winter sunshine, even if it is a rather hackneyed image?

You're across from this man on the train to Oslo. What do you imagine he's travelling for today?
1/n Okay, gang. We are on a train again.
Follow my journey through #AnnaOnATrain until I come up with a better hashtag. I'm open to suggestions, so please comment below if you have a good hashtag that also captures the moments that I am *not* on a train, for example b/c it was cancelled or delayed.
Before The Internet starts mansplaining Quiet Zones to me again: I always pay extra to reserve a seat in a Quiet Zone if I can, and find Quiet Zones to sit in if I cannot book a seat. I do not complain about people being loud in a Quiet Zone unless I have at least asked them to be quiet once, and they have decided to choose violence and be loud anyway.
3/n Of course, here is the obligatory "greetings from Lugano" picture.
Sadly the bar with the train stapled to the ceiling was closed, so I went to a bar that has chain mail hanging from the ceiling. One can only imagine that this is in case of a horde of barbarians asking for cappuchini after 11am or something.
