Railway carriage

Train

This passenger carriage, with cabin doors which opened directly onto the station platform, was one of many used on the line from Bunbury to Perth. Imagine your surprise when, as the train was rattling along, the conductor suddenly appeared on the outside of the train, opened the door, climbed in to check tickets, then exited to continue moving along the outside of the moving train to the next cabin. Have a seat and enjoy the comfort of the carriage while looking at the old photos of tourist destinations. Have your ticket ready!
