Best Of The Trains.

For quite a lot of time we had a few of these images, and we never made a post out of it. What we have here is not categorized or is in some sort of an order; these are some random things we picked up over a period of time. But there is one thing in common in the whole of the post, i.e., 'Trains'; hope you will appreciate this as much as we did. And just one other thing, if you have any image or info that can be added to this post, then do mail it or put it in comments!

Here are a few painted trains which look really cool and some come from the land of inventions running on their 12,000-mile rail network, decorated with images of anime characters, colorful advertisements, and designs by notable artists. These painted trains look so colorful and attractive; we can say that lots of creative space is left empty on unpainted trains.
