Ah, too bad. You missed your meeting with the dark eyed stranger in the fedora who could make you forget your sofa back home. But then I may have mistook this for the overnight train to Budapest.
It has the look of an ancient almost World War II era train. Something out of an old movie. Like that great – and these days largely forgotten or underrated – Czech movie, “Closely Watched Trains”, by Jiri Menzel. With a few adjustments – perhaps in the eye of the viewer – this could be a still from that movie.
It does conjure up images tough……
And the moment – with both hands up in the air, signaling, or waving, or exchanging some hidden message in some secret sign language – is great.
Oh yes. It’s so cool how you always find similes in literature and film. I didn’t know about the movie but what I read so far about it, it seems worth to watch.
How exciting to be on a train going through the countryside to somewhere new. It’s the beginning of an adventure.
Laugh. 15 minute trip with a museum train. And no, I didn’t take it in the end. It was cold, I was tired, I wanted to be home back on my sofa.

This would be such a nice thing to do, wouldn’t it? Going to Budapest. Overnight train. The words. Ha!

Nice photo.

Thank you again!
Btw – the German title of the movie is totally stupid. Translates as “Love according to schedule/timetable”. Duh.
