Day 64:On the right track..

Hello again audience, today's picture has been one I have wanted to take for a long time, but never had the nerve to take at home. But on a quiet Swedish track we had the chance to take a beautiful picture, which really captures the beauty and amazing thing which is the human invention of the train track. 

The question for today's blog is if you could pick one invention what was the greatest invention ever made from mankind? 

Thanks for reading my blog today and I hope you enjoyed the pictures. I hope everyone is looking forward to the weekend! Hope to see you again tomorrow!

Now some random facts! 

A train is a connected series of vehicles for rail transport that move along a track (permanent way) to transport cargo or passengers from one place to another. The track usually consists of two rails, but might also be a monorail or maglev guideway.
Propulsion for the train is provided by a separate locomotive, or from individual motors in self-propelled multiple units. Most modern trains are powered by diesel locomotives or by electricity supplied by overhead wires or additional rails, although historically (from the early 19th century to the mid-20th century) the steam locomotive was the dominant form of locomotive power. Other sources of power (such as horses, rope or wire, gravity, pneumatics, batteries, and gas turbines) are possible.
