Railway adventures

My Grandad worked on the railways in Western Australia. Having grown up listening to his stories, helping visit museums and taking photos for his "The Era of Steam" books I'm still fascinated by this system of travel. My blog captures some of my trips...

Workshop jargon? Wonder if this was the same in Australia when my Grandad worked on the railways?

From one of the first steam engines, Rocket, to the fastest in the world, Mallard!

Getting up close with steam engines at the National Railway Museum - you can walk underneath one and another has the side taken off so you can see the boiler functions

Shinkansen series 0 time - the first bullet train and the only one of its type outside Japan! Getting excited to be riding these next month. Great way to start my tour of the National Railway Museum
