From steam trains to Shinkansen (bullet) trains, I do love to ride the rails. Each train has its own unique characteristics and peculiarities. From seats to the way the doors open, even the smell of the trains is different. Here in Northern Ireland, this month saw the opening of the Whitehead Railway Museum which will allow more visitors to learn more about the inner workings that the volunteers undertake in restoring steam trains from around the Emerald Isle and further abroad. So this is the perfect time to share some books about trains with you!
