This is a really fun book for anyone who loves trains and/or train travel. There's just something wonderful about traveling by train, even when I was on a dirty train or when my travel was delayed and I was exhausted.
Mulloy talks about her unique experiences, and her style her is to have a conversation about places she's been, while mixing it with facts about train travel and train trips by famous people.
I have no doubt that I will revisit this book, because it feels like taking a comfortable trip -- and I love traveling! The narrator was great, and really added to the comfortable mood. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me listen to this audiobook

In this short book, writer Pamela Mulloy reflects on a life of traveling, especially on trains. Essays and memoirs are not genres that I usually read but, since I enjoy both taking trips and trains, I wanted to know what she had to say. I’m so glad I did! Her remarkable experiences really show how much the world has changed, even before the lockdown years that shall not be named. The audiobook is narrated by Jennifer Wigmore in a colloquial, easygoing style that sounds like having a conversation with a good friend. The stories she tells are very compelling, and she rounds them by adding the historical context and even some fun trivia. Now that trains are making a comeback, it is a good time to learn more about this irreplaceable form of travel.
