Travel Tales: Trains - Terror on the Rails:Is the next book in line of relatively shorter-take samplers in my True Travel Tales book series. It’s a collection of some scary close calls on passenger or freight trains while plying some of the World’s most famous railways and barely managing in some instances to escape from being robbed or even harmed.Train Stories is a collection of some fearful close calls that can and do happen to world rail travelers on occasion. Mostly these will never happen to you but if they do, you may get to experience some real, raw fear including sometimes even fear for your own life on some very unsettling occasions that can potentially pop up now and again to any of us rail travelers and adventurers.This collection of True Travel Tales is the place to hear about them. I hope such things don’t happen to you, but if they do, I hope you’ll manage to escape and overcome. Hopefully, you’ll be all the wiser for reading about such things throughout these pages.Again, Trains includes some examples of bad things that occasionally happen to travelers despite their best efforts to avoid such things. But bad things of course DO happen now and again, and the best thing to do is to of course avoid them in the first place! Hah! But if we cannot, we should certainly at least do our best to escape them.While there is no easy, simple laundry list of failsafe rail traveling strategies for always staying safe and surviving each potentially dangerous situation that may arise in your travels on the rails, there are, nevertheless, meaningful takeaway strategies to be learned from the numerous examples presented in this book that will enable one to develop and keep in mind ways to enhance personal safety and reduce the risks of potentially dangerous outcomes at times in your travel on the World’s railroads.While the tales in Trains are of course not all strictly about life and death and/or robbery situations, many are doubtless about difficult, embarrassing, and otherwise potentially annoying nuisance situations that we all would do very well to do without in the first place.The scope and variety of close calls and ultimate escapes in Trains - Terror on the Rails may very well surprise you and cause you a good laugh now and again as well. Some are quite funny, like, for example, the story of soiled clothing so very badly in need of laundering that traveled over and over again throughout the rails of France.The extreme close-call adventures may never happen to you, but reading about them in this particular book in my True Travel Tales series, may give you pause: who knows? Maybe you’ll never, be followed, stalked, chased, or intimidated at all in the first place or maybe in the next instance throughout your travels on the rails.Sure, you’ll read stories in this book that will alert you to situations that may never even have occurred to you in the first place. But if you avoid even one potentially new (to you) travel danger by reading this book, then I will have accomplished a very useful purpose.
