I love this story :-)

(It reminds me of a summer holiday with my grandparents when I was about 8, when my also train-crazy+professional grandfather took me out around 4am to watch the night express, after which both of us were terribly scolded by my grandmother...)

Here is an image of the train, more at RailFanEurope.net (my main European source for images in the MTB series):

Thanks for the picture. I don't know what it is about grandmothers - I have a few memories too of my grandfather and me getting scolded by my grandmother, though they have nothing to do with trains, but staying to long at the airport watching airplanes and him of course having his beer an a Sunday morning. At that time it was a garden pub at the airport - hard to imagine today and you could drink something, sitting under trees, while watching the action, i.e an plane leaving or arriving every hour or two. Well, of course we were late for lunch.
