A Quote by Agatha Christie
Trains are wonderful.... To travel by train is to see nature and human beings, towns and churches and rivers, in fact, to see life.

People today have forgotten they're really just a part of nature. Yet, they destroy the nature on which our lives depend. They always think they can make something better...
