Sleeping on the train

Leanne’s Monochrome Madness
Bren’s Mid-Week Monochrome #121

The sleeping car of the Southern Aurora, a train that went between Sydney and Melbourne from 1962 to 1986. The rear carriage had a neon sign, Southern Aurora in blue, at the back.

Going to have to wait until October this year before it comes up this way again.

Whizzing along

Ragtag Daily Prompt Friday: Limit

We boarded the train
and headed off
what to discover
the countryside
blurring
more
at every second

Comfortable seats
room to spare
further along
clink
clank
rattle
rustle
the food trolley
almost here

But look
I say
the limit
achieved
Whizzing along

Later on……

How to stop a train

Nancy’s Photo a Week Challenge: Signs

I found this in a little General Store in the small village of Wiangaree. The store had lots of bits and pieces from the past so one day I’ll go back and grab a few more photos. It was a very hot day and I had to go as my scrumptious Rum ‘n’ Raisin ice cream in a waffle cone was ready.

I have no idea of the age of the sign. I am glad the green disc was still there. The shop owner didn’t have the original lamp either.

Perhaps the train looked like this one lol

Years ago my uncle got a job with the council roadworks team. My aunty rang Mum and said that uncle had been arrested for stealing items from the council works depot. We rushed over there in disbelief but when we arrived the signs were there.
