When we last came to USA on business we left the LA Mondrian Hotel on Sunset Boulevard after 5 days and headed by road to Vegas across the Mojave Desert.
After a while to our right we noticed a magnificent freight train, I was gobsmacked, I had never seen such a long train in my life, it seemed to last forever, at some point we could not see the tail end, how long it was I will never know but certainly it seemed 30/40 times anything we have here, I forget how many engines it had,
I tried to photograph it but failed.
Back in LA outside Graumans Chinese Theatre we waited for a while to see some of the cast of Batman on opening night.
I will not say why we suddenly left in case someone takes faux offence.
I was also gobsmacked to see a MacDonalds in the desert,
Do you have very long passenger trains? ours are small and crowded, you can pay for a seat and not guaranteed one, you could stand all the way.
