"TILBURY, England — It is called the “wine train,” and every weekend it rumbles out of the port of Tilbury, east of London, on a 100-mile journey to a depot in central England. It looks pretty much like any other freight train, but it carries an unusual cargo: Almost 650,000 bottles of wine."
I also wonder how the China to Europe trains are doing , given the high cost of shipping and driver shortages at the moment. ??? Packed to the gills , I'd imagine.

The only train trips I regret are the ones I didn't take.
