There are so many different reasons as to why I love riding trains. But I think ultimately it's the romantic feeling of it. There's something about it that just transports me into old films.

I was one man and I tackled a big railroad. I did the best I could.

I just really have an affinity for women. Watching them go through journeys is more interesting to me than watching men.

My father was a railroad man his entire life; 43 years for Southern Railroad.

As a child I found railroad stations exciting, mysterious, and even beautiful, as indeed they often were.

I've missed a lot of trains in my life, and another one always comes.

It is in his pleasure that a man really lives; it is from his leisure that he constructs the true fabric of self.

I think one reason, obviously, that I spend so much time in one place is that I've been lucky enough to travel a lot, and now there are other different, invisible trains that are more interesting to me.

People's lives are in the care of the railways when they get on a train. The railways should remember that.

I met my second husband on a bus. We looked at each other and that was it. We were both married to other people at the time and behaved badly, but we didn't seem to have any choice. We were very happy for nearly 50 years and would still be together if it wasn't for the bloody railways.
