“The Overland” train to Adelaide

The train ride takes about ten and a half hours so I hoped I had a nice person to sit beside and I did a very nice lady from Adelaide, who was very nice to talk too! A couple hours into the journey and the train comes to a stop, the operator tells us that the strong winds blew one of the carriages of a freight train ahead of us right off the rails!!! He said it would only be about a half hour, to everyone’s surprise about forty minutes later we were on our way again. An hour behind schedule in the end, not so bad!
