The Railway to Nowhere


This train is on the way to Nowhere... it truly is.



Probably the only sign of evidence confirming the existence of Nowhere.



And one can still buy a ticket to Nowhere...



The generation gaps of train travel are explained here in less than 25 words...



Tottenham is where it all starts these days...



And now... the "Once Upon a Time" section of this post...

Nowhere was nowhere to be found in the schedule... but Tottenham is.

From CNR's 1959-1960 public schedule


Nonetheless a visual record of one of those trains really does exist online... this image was recorded in 1960.






Although one can no longer ride the rails from Abbey to Zorra via Bagdad today, this far into the 21st century one can still take a train from Tottenham to the middle of Nowhere...











 


But getting to Tottenham?

You'll have to drive.
