Well I have not only seen many military trains but I have been on one. <br /> <br />A long time ago, I was a fully trained infantry signaler in the Australian National Service (national circus) and after that we had to do 3 years in the CMF Citizens Military Force. Thats what I was doing on a troop train going from Wagga Wagga in South West NSW (New South Wales) to Mt Royal in Singleton central northern NSW for war games. <br /> <br />I was newly married at the time and my wife was staying in Sydney with her mother while I went to play war games. The train I was on stopped near a big rail centre in Sydney for about an hour; and I was only about 2 miles (we weren't a metric country then) from my mother in laws place and never in my life, before or since have I felt more like not doing my duty and getting off, to do what i wanted to do instead of my duty. <br /> <br />rgs <br /> <br />Private Ian.
