Famous quotes containing the words special and/or trains:
“‘I mean to retire, where
Nobody will have heard about my special skills
And conversation is mainly about the wearther.”
—Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin (b.1942)
“Every American travelling in England gets his own individual sport out of the toy passenger and freight trains and the tiny locomotives, with their faint, indignant, tiny whistle. Especially in western England one wonders how the business of a nation can possibly be carried on by means so insufficient.”
—Willa Cather (1876–1947)
