One thing that Europe seems to have on the rest of the world is public transportation. The train systems there are impressive; if you have enough time, you can get to almost anywhere by train. Really cool stuff. A friend of ours let us borrow his copy of Europe by Eurorail before we left and I was absolutely shocked at the lattice work of tracks all over the place. Now price, on the other hand, that’s a different story… it felt like sometimes you could fly somewhere cheaper then taking a train, but by in large, its an excellent way to get around. Holly and I have used trains as a way to get around several times before in our travels, but never to the extent we did on this particular trip.
On this particular day in Germany we had some time to kill before our train departed so I took the opportunity to walk around and take some pictures. I loved the personality of the old trains and sleekness of the new trains. They’re definitely fun to look at and photograph, and I really liked the new-tech versus old-school these two had going on.
