This railroad was taken in Bandung's train station, which is represented today's theme day, lines. Bandung 's train station is located conveniently in the center of the city. There are in general three main destinations connected through the Bandung railroad hub namely Jakarta which is approximately three hours away, Yogyakarta/Solo, which will require a 9-hour sit in, and Surabaya, at over 10 hours away. The building is leading to the parking lot where transport is easily found and arranged. Public transportation can be found in all shapes and sizes, but as anywhere, a Bluebird taxi is the most reliable choice.
Overall, train connections from and to Bandung are surprisingly comfortable and trains run more or less on time. There's always choice of executive class which is very comfortable with a lot of leg space and air conditioned. This is a picture of interior scene of Argo Gede train running four times daily from Bandung to Gambir Station in Jakarta. However, a certain sense of ‘jam karet' (rubber time) will make it easier to deal with unexpected delays. Sitting back and enjoying the often breathtaking views of the green rice fields will make traveling by train in Indonesia a comfortable experience. Happy Theme Day!

I think there'll be a lot of railway lines on show today - this is a very sleek one.
Yours is the first theme day photo I've seen and its a great one! Thanks for the train info :)
There are many trains, but this is the first night one. I always enjoy your narrative too.
So you have used lines in two ways, and that's a good idea.
Thank you for coming on Château-Gontier daliy photo
Nice night shot of the train tracks. Like Gerald (Hyde DP) said, a lot of railroad tracks today (like my own). It's a good use of the theme.
The night time makes it look a bit dangerous.
Great night shot and good commentary.
Interesting to see a night shot of railway lines. Nice choice for today. Goodness, this looks a dangerous shot, tho! Hope it wasn't. Good to read your narrative.
wah pilihan kita sama ya untuk theme day kali ini.
sebagian besar foto-foto saya (85% +) pakai kamera saku Canon Powershot A310, 3.2 piksel, kang Harry. Saya suka bawa karena ringan.
I just happen to love railway lines...
For me it is a metaphor for life... we choose go via this or that way and to board this or that train...
Very good choice.
Very nice choice for theme day. And I appreciate the interesting information.
Thanks for all the details about the train station and lines, I like the shot of the inside of the train, great lines there too!!!
wah kenagan nih saat masih bolak balik jkt-bdg
Thanks for your kind comment at Sydney Daily Photo I’m not near my computer at the moment (have a visit to see where I am!), so sorry for not commenting earlier.
What would we do without trains? I only wish that our city relied more on them instead of automobiles! Thanks for visiting my blog today.
Beautiful rail-line. Especially the two main lines in the photo, very striking! I hope ther are trains in the Philippines but only Metro rails are here in our Capital but those trains that coes long miles from a place to another, they have already been abandoned due to corruption of funds I guess.
Our Semestral Breaks in a week! But the requirements, never lesser! Please pray for me for the coming hectic days! mabuhay and God Bless!
