A last post about our train trip

Our train ride last Saturday went as far as Etmilyn, eight kilometres from Dwellingup. Etmilyn was a watering point for the steam trains. Lights on the sides of the carriage illuminated the forest through which we travelled. At one point we saw signs indicating where the Bibbulman track, a 1,000 kilometre walking trail, crosses the line. The train came to a gentle halt at the station, the engine was disconnected and travelled slowly on a side track to the other end of the carriages where it was reconnected for the return journey to Dwellingup. The photo shows the light on the engine as it travelled back past our carriage to get to the ‘front’ ready for the return journey.

Nice picture, captures the atmosphere. I'd think twice about cycling all of the Bibbulman, never mind walking it!

I am jealous that you were able to enjoy it. I have not tried to ride a train for a long trip.

You know you’re an American when you’re thinking about going through a forest at night worried about being held up when the train stops.

Took me to my train journey from San Jose to Oxnard by Amtrak which ran parallel to the sea all of 200 KM.

@judyev A train stopped late at night, shunting, lights, weary passengers, mystery - what are you doing to me? I’m away, riding a night train in winter, held up at the border as we cross into Yugoslavia with soldiers searching the carriages looking for a spy.
