Excursion Trains

Famous quotes containing the words excursion and/or trains:

“I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself than be crowded on a velvet cushion. I would rather ride on earth in an ox cart, with a free circulation, than go to heaven in the fancy car of an excursion train and breathe a malaria all the way.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Ever notice how these European trains always smell of eau de cologne and hard boiled eggs?”
