键入文字 平民梦想网 火车之恋 火车有时候被认为前景黯然 杜兰戈到西佛顿铁道世界上最壮观的火车路线之一 却在 1960 年面临几乎关闭的命运 1883年 东方快车 从巴黎开到伊斯坦堡 创造豪华旅行的极致 1977年则完全停驶 1887年旋转雪犁首度在高山绝岭铲除深雪 它们现在看起来像古董似乎无法重振昔日的光采 这个流线型的火车头曾 以每小时 100哩的速度载客 二址年来却只能摆在博物馆外面任机件生锈 然而时至今日这些火车仍在铁道上奔驰 勾起一个遥远的记忆 那时火车第一次跨越大陆 运送士兵去战场 让名人有机会到处亮相是非常拉风 的旅行方式 也提供政治家竞选发表政见的机会 甚至提供流浪汉暂时容身之处 火车轨道破坏乡间的外观 火车吵杂的声音破坏宁静并且污染空气 但是这些又该如何解释成千上万的人热爱火车的心 情 真正在驾驶火车时你永远不会过瘾 我不知道也许我只是对火车过度狂热 但是大概就是这样 我买了一节 50 年代的火车厢 因为我在 50年代常常搭火车 突然有一天报纸上说火车 快要被淘汰了 所有的客车都要寿终正寝 我知道除非我弄一节车厢 否则以后不可能有火车搭 了 1 Sometimes is has seemed that railroads were doomed 2 The Durango Silverton railroadis one of the most spectacular ridesin the world In 1960 it was nearly shut down 3 In 1883 the Orient Express ranfrom Paris to Istanbul 4 created the ultimate in luxury travel 5 It was abandoned in 1977 6 In 1887 rotary snow plows first foughtthe snow drifts in the High Sierras 7 Looking like relicsthey seem improbable holdovers from the past 8 Once this streamlined locomotivehauled passenger trains 9 at 100 miles an hour 10 But for 20 years it sat outside a museum its machinery rusting 11 Yet todaythese trains still run the rails 12 Now they evoke a more remote past 13 when trains firstbridged the continent 14 Ferried recruits to war 15 provided celebrities with an opportunityto be seen and a chic way to travel 16 gave a mobile campaign platformto politicians 17 and offered a refuge for hoboes 18 Train tracks disfigurethe countryside 19 Trains assault the senses withbrutal noise and begrime the air 20 How then account for the multitudeof people who love trains 21 When you re actually running a train you just can t get enough 22 I don t know Maybe I m just a junkie for trains 23 But that s about it 24 I bought a caboose back in the 50s 25 because I was busy riding trainsin the 50s 26 And suddenly I read in the paper one daywhere trains were going to go out 27 All passenger trainswould be taken off 28 And I knew unless I got a piece of rideon the train 29
