The National Railway Company of Belgium, also known as Nationale Maatschappij der Belgische Spoorwegen (or NMBS, Dutch) or Société Nationale des Chemins de fer Belges (or SNCB, French) is the Belgian national railway operator. It was created in 1926. The NMBS/SNCB is an autonomous government company. In 2005, the company was split up into three parts: Infrabel, which manages the railway infrastructure, network operations and network access, the public railway operator NMBS/SNCB itself to manage the freight (B-Cargo) and passenger services, and NMBS/SNCB-Holding, which owns both public companies and supervises the collaboration between them. Essentially, this was a move to facilitate future liberalisation of railway freight and passenger services in agreement with European regulations. Several freight operators have since received access permissions for the Belgian network.
In 2004 the NMBS/SNCB carried 178.4 million passengers a total of 8,676 million passenger-kilometres over a network of 3,536 kilometres (of which 2,950 km are electrified, mainly at 3000 V DC and 351 km at 25 kV 50 Hz AC).
Tickets are relatively cheap and service frequent, in part due to the high population density, and in part to large government subsidies.

Made after making some other wire weaving/mesh pieces. The beads are glass. I was also heavily influenced by some of Elise Matheson's work (her fabulous necklace-crowns).

The Bomaderry flour train at the end of overhead wiring on the NSW south coast line, at Kiama. Diesel hauled (naturally), with triple 81 class.
No electric trains can proceed south past here, unless they have a very long extension cord! :)
Playing with textures.
It's said that men and women are "wired differently".... I think the realization of this is a sign of maturity....and it comes along with the comfort of silence and in the acceptance of the wise saying:
"Better to remain silent and be thought of as a fool than to speak up and remove any doubt!"
