Very Distant Train

The windy day washes over the whistles of birds as their chirps challenge the sound of a distant train that passes below, belching out brilliant sonnets like a metal minstrel wandering through the wood. Walk along with the scene and get lost in the pristine sound of modern life meeting the mystic sound of nature. In the 19th century the first railway locomotives were powered by steam, usually generated by burning coal. These remained by far the most common type of locomotive until after World War II. The locomotive Fairy Queen, built in 1855 runs between Delhi and Alwar in India and is the oldest steam locomotive in regular service in the world. The only steam power still in regular use in North America and Western Europe are on heritage railways largely aimed at tourists and/or railroad hobbyists.
