Rails and travel for the masses. Look for us on Facebook also.

@eastblocvisuals There is a great museum of these in Warsaw now.

@eastblocvisuals

[Matthew Picciotto @HoboProletariat]

@eastblocvisuals I’ve seen this one in person.

[Matthew Picciotto @HoboProletariat]

@superalbs @OnTheRails I just bought this equally old East German model of one.

[Matthew Picciotto @HoboProletariat]

@AndyBTravels @seatsixtyone I’be bought a cup of coffee there.

[Matthew Picciotto @HoboProletariat]

@seatsixtyone @Interrail @RailFreight Their open air museum on the other side of the station tracks is nice to wander through.

[Matthew Picciotto @HoboProletariat]

@seatsixtyone Somehow “Indifferent” sounds worse than “no preference”. Seems oddly fitting for Polish rail.

[Matthew Picciotto @HoboProletariat]

@andrew_grantham Oh that’s fun. Love the yurts.

[Matthew Picciotto @HoboProletariat]

@andrew_grantham That’s bizarre looking. I wonder if it’s a Chinese mining locomotive. I doubt the Taliban have developed heavy industry to the point of domestically designing and building a locomotive.

[Matthew Picciotto @HoboProletariat]

@WarMonitor3 Yes

[Matthew Picciotto @HoboProletariat]

@wilburstravels That bridge is over Nairobi National Park right on the outskirts of the city.

@Sateenmuruja @andrew_grantham @UZAmbassador @uzb_travel I had the opportunity to ride around and photograph nearly all of them a few years ago. Cool experience.

@donttrythis @fanexpochicago @testedcom Check out Sideshow Gelato up in Lincoln Square. You won’t regret it.

[Matthew Picciotto @HoboProletariat]

@Audioguyjacob @HeyScoops Also I like the bottles of hot sauce…

[Matthew Picciotto @HoboProletariat]

@Audioguyjacob @HeyScoops So since I only use X to follow Ukrainian, Israeli and other potentially catastrophic crisis news and like three other accounts I had no idea about the politically charged statement from the founder. I saw that Jacob asked for a recommendation and I made one. Sorry.

[Matthew Picciotto @HoboProletariat]

@Audioguyjacob @HeyScoops We like to use Sticker Mule.

[Matthew Picciotto @HoboProletariat]

@seatsixtyone We have to hunt for wild trains in Germany now?

[Matthew Picciotto @HoboProletariat]

@andrew_grantham Hand of God? In the US, 0-5-0 is how we turn model locomotives without a turntable or re-rail spilt trains…

[Matthew Picciotto @HoboProletariat]

@seatsixtyone I like Brasov and all. But yes that’s rather ambitious.
