They’re almost a hundred years old, but still lead an active life. Since 2018—six years now—they’ve been traveling, stopping at small railway stations, accompanied by the nostalgic sound of the bell signaling their arrival and departure. These trains don’t just carry tourists—whether local or from afar—but also their memories, their past, and their imagination.
On the tracks, emotions travel too: a deeper connection with others that goes beyond listening, felt within the old compartments, with their long, velvet-covered seats, uncomfortable yet fostering a certain intimacy. Once upon a time, you could see the manners, composure, and etiquette of the people seated across from you, and often, friendships—or even romances—would form, helped along by the gentle swaying of the train cars.
