CLICKITY CLICK ....

....CLACKETY CLACK.

We love travelling by train. Normally you can see the countryside and points of interest much clearer than by any other form of transport except for a slow, low-flying plane.

We went to Montreal for the weekend on VIA Rail.

It was very disappointing.
The train trip itself was reasonably comfortable and safe but there were no panoramic views to be had



The railway line was mostly screened from the surrounding countryside by high poplar-type trees that, due to the proximity rendered just a blur as a view.



When there was the odd break in the trees all there was to be seen was some pretty boring and endless farmland.



Oh well, we had a great weekend anyway which I'll cover in a few follow-on posts.

Poplar trees are certainly popular! Ha, I made a little joke!
