Well, I get asked quite often how I know where the trains are going. Often it comes down to the facts that the tracks only go one place down the line. However, sometimes there are splits and junctions and, well, those can throw screws into the best laid plans;)
If you're looking for other train riding reading and want to support my channel here are links to my memoir and train hopping book:
