An assortment of photographs of railways, sound mirrors, Cambridge and other stuff.

Railways

That any general system of conveying passengers would ... go at a velocity exceeding ten miles an hour, or thereabouts, is extremely improbable.
Thomas Tredgold, Practical Treatise on Railroads & Carriages, 1825

Austria. Lovely little tramway in Gmunden.
Belgium. Trams and trains
Canada. Ontario in winter, and a trans-continental holiday.
Czech Republic. Holiday snaps.
France. TGV, inevitably.
Germany. Harz steam.
Iceland. Yes, it did have a railway. I've not seen what's left, but my dad has.
Iraq. No, I've not been there myself, but some people who have took photos of the trains.
Republic of Ireland. Bright orange trains.
Luxembourg. Trains in the Grand Duchy.
Malaysia. Trainspotting out in the midday sun.
Poland. Real steam.
Thailand. Export Class 158s.
UAE. Photos I've been sent showing railways in the Emirates.
United Kingdom
- Disused tunnels on the Hull & Barnsley Railway.
- Northern Ireland. An overlooked railway.
- Oakham Level Crossing signal box. Of Airfix fame.
- Spurn Head railway. What's left of it.
- Military line in York. About 18-inch gauge.

For fairly obvious reasons I don't have many pictures of railways in Afghanistan. Can anyone help?

Being urban, squat, and packed with guile...
