Trains!

Fun fact: the Surrey Iron Railway (the world's first public railway was opened today in 1803 in south London.  Although I take trains (e.g. subway) on a fairly regular basis, I also like trains because they are connected to my family. My granddad worked for British Rail for a long time. He was a pretty funny man in that once he was in a train when he saw some smoke and pulled the fire cord to stop the train and when he was interviewed afterwards all he had to say was: "I always wanted to pull that cord!" So I say, here's to my granddad and trains!
