Largest cantilever bridge in the world at 549 m span. Collapsed twice while building it, killing 88 workmen.

First coach is for checked luggage, the second one is this seater car. It was empty and locked but with the lights on the entire way I think. Then the sleeper cars.

Lounge cars with WiFi on each side of the dining car, followed by, well, the other half of the train. At some stations we would stop twice, first for the sleeper, then for the seated cars.

My sense of humour: bus number 777 takes us to the casino. Walking away from the bus stop (or out of the casino after losing all your money...?) seems to be unthinkable.

Last time I ate dumplings as tasty as those here (symbolic picture) was when I was in Shanghai.

Although it's far from a highspeed train, track quality makes the ride feel quite fast ;-)
We were stuck behind a freight train, but then were able to pass it, now on time again.

Martin Hoffmann@serac Looks like you got a new Siemens set? Pity. The older LRC carriages are real nice.

javensbukan@serac I hope Gare Centrale gets a glow up someday like Union Station got in Toronto.
@javensbukan
Giving a glow to these underground stations is difficult. On the other hand, it does make sense to create density at spots like these - not only for money-making, also as a passenger I value the oppotunities right at the station. Also the hotel we stayed at was built on top of the tracks

@serac Yeah! I feel like they could do a lot just to make it *brighter*.
It has puny metal halide lamps and frosted glass - Both could be improved to let more light in.
Nothing major needs redoing - just more light would help so much! And maybe a brighter floor.
Patate sauvage 🍉@serac what is the name of the restaurant please?
@lareineZenobie
Restaurant Sammi & Sou. Bon Appetit!

you're all idiots@serac alt text: oversized squarish grey monstrosity that looks designed for a 1980s post-apocalyptic movie, with a concrete housing block behind.
@serac I love the old MR-73 trains. A bit bouncy but still, love the design.
@javensbukan
I guess the bouncyness is mainly caused by the tyres...but impressive acceleration, that's definitely a pro of this system.
