On #gravy #trains.

I imagine a 20 tonne side loading coal wagon but filled with delicious gravy. And then I imagine 80 more of them. They come past my door where I have a wall of mashed potato and a giant crane with a gravy bucket on it to pour over my mashed spuds. I also have a ball pool but it’s full of peas instead and my entire front yard is laden with delicious slices of roast NZ lamb.

That’s my idea of a gravy train and nobody gonna stop me.

👻🚂Locomotive graveyard. Lebanon’s ghost train stations stand frozen in time and choked by unchecked plant growth.

The first railway opened in 1895 under the Ottoman Empire. It ran from Beirut to Damascus. By the 1930s, Lebanon had joined the Orient Express network via the Taurus Express link through Homs.

After decades of decline and wartime damage, the final train service ran in 1990.

Do you find your passion for railways stressful? Are you beating yourself up about not riding the V-set on its final day? Do you find yourself launching into angry arguments about the best track gauge (broad gauge, obviously)?

My Guided Meditation for Gunzels will help you overcome the issues and help live a more relaxed life.

(I woke up at 2 AM to write this piece, so please enjoy)

I’m on a train and someone clearly hasn’t realised that their headphones aren’t properly connected to their phone. That in itself is nothing new. However: by the sounds of it, this person is listening to an AI-generated audiobook. As in: both the writing and the voice seem GenAI’d, and both are so bad lol

It's pretty calm actually! And the train already arrived so for the next half an hour I don't have to freeze outside.

Because of the strike in Belgium travellers are allowed to hop on any EuroCity or EuroCity Direct train regardless of the service you booked for. Really nice you don't have to worry about that.
