Hello! Welcome to my railway blog! I'm panda (main: @klavierpanda) and I am from the UK so my posts will be mostly centred around railway stuff in the UK.
The full BART train adventure series! I really like how this series turned out and I hope you enjoyed it as well. The whole thing is available on my Redbubble: https://www.redbubble.com/people/transcendragons/shop?artistUserName=Transcendragons&collections=3799759&iaCode=all-departments&sortOrder=relevant

I took a deep breath of the crisp morning air. It had stopped raining only shortly before my hike began, and the forest accordingly was vibrant. Truly a gorgeous day for an evening stroll. But what was that sound of rumbling? Perhaps it was nothing.
I spotted a few golden mushrooms and stooped down to pick them up. Normally poisonous, I knew my grandma could prepare these into a delicious and hearty soup with the appropriate technique. I stored my find carefully in my knapsack, and continued my walk towards the grotto where I liked to read my novels. Though, well surely not, I must just be imagining the rumbles.
Beauty incarnate emerged before my eyes. I saw the gentle row of ferns lining the pathway to my grotto. I saw the great reading rock on which I would sit, and admired the soft stream which wandered throughout. Ah, bliss. I am truly fortunate to have such a place to call my own.
I unfurled my knapsack and picked up my book. A grimoire on the art of enumerative combinatorics, truly a pleasant companion to delight the mind with beauties comparable to those around me. I started reading the next chapter intently. The birds were chirping around me, or actually they had shushed themselves. Oh. Oh God. It is rumbling around me.
My eyes looked every which way, instinctively driven to search, even though I rationally knew there was no way of knowing exactly where would be safe. I could sort of hear the whistling coming from right below me, though it was hard to tell. My legs threatened to turn to jelly from the fear, but I forced them to work. I ran back up the path as fast as I could.
A thunderous noise erupted from my grotto, the force throwing me to the ground. I could barely see the outline of the train erupting from the earth through the thick rain of dirt and debris. Moments ago my reading nook, now a crater ejecting the train forth, until it smashed back into the ground and burrowed below again.
I was grateful for my life, but I knew not why the state had approved the construction of autonomous subterranean trains back during the great war. I understand there was desperation for any way to hold back the forest animals, but I do not think this justified the lingering impact of trains now a thousand years later.
Peak engineering right here the warped frame of the cover, and borken locking mechanism allows for it to move back and forth creating some airflow for the door closer machinery.
I have a small but growing photo collection of Railway Vehicles With Names, which I take whenever I spot one at work. Some of them are "regular guests", others I only see seldomly and don't have the chance to take a photo.
wiped out at the train station, I wasn't even on my phone or on the stairs where it's Understandable to just suddenly fall flat on ur face. my saving grace is that only one person saw me
