@@IamaDutch-Kiwi I've travelled on The International from Toronto to Chicago. Chicago to Burlington IA and back on The California Zephyr, and from Chicago to New York Penn Central. American trains are very luxurious but they're so slow. Plus they always seem to run into problems When I'm one one. From the engineers radio not working, so he had to drive miles to get train orders, (massive delay). To all the catering staff getting food poisoning and then someone falling off the train and breaking their ankle because they mistook the exit door for the door to use the facilities. 🚑😁😁

I love the stations with the high ceilings. I, too, remember some of these things, Anita. Steam trains didn't go out in the UK until about 67, so I remember them. Beautiful things. I love the old trains with the corridor rather than modern aisles, too. Thank you for taking me down memory lane, Anita.

Wow now that is a fantastic museum. I love the fact that the station has been restored, most UK train museums are only concerned with the engines and rolling stock and not the passenger experience. A shame that the station was tarnished during the war but I guess that goes for a lot of occupied Europe during the war. My great grandfather drove the coal trains for the local collieries, taking the coal to the port. My father used to spend his summer break riding in the cab with his grandad, not something that would wash with Health and Safety today. Great video Anita.

We enjoyed your tour back to this lovely train station turned museum, Anita. I'm sure it brought back fond memories of your father with you! Stunning inside and out. Enjoyed the restroom visit and I had to freeze and repeat before I saw the pull handle to flush. Hate to think it was like an outhouse! 🤣🤣But a real fancy one! They built buildings so much nicer back in those days. I'd hate to think about what they would cost today. Shame about the Jewish history there though. We enjoyed seeing the locomotives and coaches. It would have been lovely to travel in style on them back then. We've never traveled long distance on rail before and I'm afraid Kathy wouldn't do well anymore on them. Our favorite way now to travel is by car where we can stop when needed for breaks. Fun and lovely day as you mention. Thanks for bringing us along.

Dave, I so get the ease of traveling on one's own terms. Indeed stopping, resting and choosing the route is ever so important for the ease of traveling. It sure did bring back fond memories Dave and Kathy. I went to school daily as a child, by train. The way to travel if one doesn't want the parking costs and hassles. The wc as it surely was back then - a water closet of the coldest kind. Yet I remember this version well from my grandmother's house. It was truly a fun, memorable and enlightening day. Thanks for making it even brighter by traveling with us. Have a great weekend. 👌🇳🇱🙋♀🇳🇿🩷🌺

Ooh, I loved this video, Anita! There's something special and nostalgic about a train journey and a train station, full of character. Wasn't the museum wonderful? The decor was so ornate and charming, back in the day. In Norfolk (where we are from) we have a wonderful train station that royalty used to use to get to and from Sandringham. It too is beautifully preserved. It was very sad to hear about how the Nazis used to use the trains during WWII. Shocking. Loved seeing details of the new super-fast train of the future. It can only be a great thing if it can connect throughout the countries of Europe. Very enjoyable video, so well edited and presented. Best wishes from us both ❤🤗

@@IamaDutch-Kiwi There's a video of the Utrecht Railway Museum on Anthony Dawson's channel which you might find interesting. It's entitled 'De Arend: Geordie Boy Goes Dutch.' 😁 The video shows De Arend in steam. The text reads. "De Arend (the Eagle) worked the first train in the Netherlands in September 1839. Built for the broad gauge "Holland Iron Railway" by R B Longridge, she worked the inaugural train of the Dutch railway network in September 1839. Although scrapped in 1857, a full size working replica was constructed in 1939." I have a recipe for Banana teabread in one of my recipe books. I'll put it on my 'to do' list. 🍰😁
