person outside cities might never knowingly meet another unless they went by train. Trains have been the way so many lgbtq ppl travel to seek others like them, acceptance, a home. One gay friend who grew up in isolated NE, doubts quite genuinely that without the railway, he’d still be alive today.

Side view from the cab of a UK Class 50 mainline locomotive out to green hills beyond
#TravelByTrain –the “I’m so proud of my friends” edition. Yesterday, a friend since we were kids working at Bekonscot Model Village arranged for me to join him at work: in the cab of 50008 “Thunderer” across southern England. He’s living his dream & he generously shared it with me. Thank you, Mikey.
