Did I say bullet? well... not so much! I took this picture in one of the most historical areas of Athens, Thisio. The "not so bullet" train here belongs to Athens' oldest urban transit system which started its operations back in 1869. Originally the line was connecting Thisio with Athens' main port, Pireaus. It's definitely not world's best or most modern subway, however as you ride the train you get to pass by some very historical buildings like the one in the background. This is Temple of Hephaestus, built between 449-415 BC, dedicated to Hephaestus, god of Fire, Metal working and Craftsmanship. Hephesteion follows the doric order, it is located at the north-west side of the Agora of Athens, on top of the Agoraios Kolonos hill and from the 7th century until 1834 it was used as an Orthodox church. If you ever find yourself in Athens as a tourist don't miss the chance to take the train from Pireaus to Athens downtown and for a little while feel like you took a bullet train and traveled through the ages.

Although this was taken from a boat most travel on this walking holiday was by train. It was an excellent and affordable service
Bland CSX train Q296 with about a thousand autoracks blasts under the Pennsy-era signals at MP 279, just east of downtown Indianapolis. Just look at that non-matching yellow touch up paint on the handrails. Classy!

The Corcovado Train (Portuguese: Trem do Corcovado) is a rack railway in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from Cosme Velho to the summit of the Corcovado Mountain at an altitude of 710 m (2,329 ft). The summit is known for its statue of Christ the Redeemer and its views over the city and beaches of Rio.
The line is 3.8 km (2.4 mi) long. It is a 1,000 mm gauge rack railway using the Riggenbach rack system. I took this shot over the shoulder of our driver as we passed a train descending from the mountain. The rolling stock was built by SLM of Winterthur in Switzerland.
There are four trains, each of two cars. Three of them are used simultaneously. The trip takes approximately 20 minutes and departs every 20 minutes, giving a capacity of 540 passengers per hour. Due to this limited capacity the wait at the entry station can be several hours.
The line has been ridden by many famous people, including Pope Pius XII, Pope John Paul II, Alberto Santos-Dumont, Albert Einstein, Diana, Princess of Wales and myself.
