I travelled a lot on the railways during the transition period from diesel to ... errr ... bus & it wasn't pleasant.

Often from my local station, there aren't enough carriages and you end up standing up for nearly an hour. I would love to have travelled on one of these big old elegant machines :-) I do love trains when they have enough room on them for you to enjoy the journey.

I just wish America had kept up with the times, making the rails an important mode of transportation. Europe could teach us a thing or two! I love that you have such fond memories of your grandfather. So sweet. Call me a romantic, Cherry, but I absolutely love trains, even though they aren’t like what they used to be.

It will take you from Singapore to Thailand, but you get to see Malaysia most throughout the journey. You have to try the Eastern & Oriental Express if you visit Malaysia in the future.
