George Ferrandi is a New York artist who wanted to capture people's reactions when she leans on the shoulders of passers-by.
Traveling by train is truly something special, because you can see the world through a completely different perspective. Mystical landscapes, picturesque and lush nature, and pristine forests are just added value to a somewhat different journey, where we comfortably settle down and simply consume the vast plains of our planet. Switzerland, Great Britain, Canada and Australia are just a few of the destinations we offer you. Good luck!
Although the New York subway can be as lively as an anthill, at the same time it is also a forcefully alienated place, as it is ruled by antisocial instincts, which a person betrays with headphones, a mobile phone, a tablet, etc., and which he slyly avoids like a fox interaction. But what happens when someone 'breaks', when he breaks the unwritten rule of silence or even worse, untouchability? This was discovered by George Ferrandi and Angela Gillands.
Japan is famous for its high-speed trains (Shinkansen), which run at unimaginable speeds, but their main competitor no longer comes from France (TGV), but from Serbia! Take a look at the Serbian "fast" train, this technical marvel that the whole world is mocking!
The interior of most trains is similar; overall, they're all dull and rather bland, with the seat covers setting the tone. Well, not in France. There, the trains are equipped as if entering an Art Nouveau or Baroque building, full of paintings and with a ceiling worthy of the Sistine Chapel. With this project, the French want to bring art closer to the masses.
Just when we think they have shown their best tricks and exhausted their acts, the Dunking Devils prove again and again that they do not lack creative and acrobatic inspiration, and more and more often also courage. This time they hammered on a traveling train on the Nova Gorica-Bohinj route, thus honoring the 110th anniversary of the existence of the Bohinj railway line. Among the scenes we also find such purely Hollywood or Bond-esque, as one of the members jumps from the bridge onto the moving train, while the other juggles on top of the wagon when the train crosses the Solkan bridge, as if it were the easiest thing in the world and one wrong move wouldn't cost him a 36-meter drop and sudden refreshments in Soča. Otherwise, jumping into the river, except Savo, Dunking Devils are used to it anyway.
Trainsurfing or train surfing used to be an extreme sport that was, of course, against the law. It experienced its greatest popularity in the 1980s in Germany. Fortunately, the dangerous sports phenomenon was forgotten for a while, but in recent times it has driven Russian teenagers crazy, and young men riding trains on the roof have become a common sight, especially in Moscow. One of them is Alex Nomernoy. You just have to see these clips. We got sweaty hands during the tour, and you will too!
Germany is getting passenger trains powered by fuel cells. Even the first trains of this type were manufactured by the French company Alstom. Coradia iLint trains will transport the first passengers on German tracks in December 2017, namely on the Buxtehude–Bremervörde–Bremerhaven–Cuxhaven route, and until then the zero-emission trains will be rapidly tested.
No, your eyes are not deceiving you. This is a real train passing through a real apartment building. And on purpose. This is Chongqing Rail Transit No. 2, a railway line in China. It also passes through a 19-story residential building, where the train passes every day.
The most luxurious Shiki-Shima train comes from the land of the rising sun – Japan. It was designed by Ferrari designer Ken Okuyama, the first non-Italian to ever design for the brand. This also makes it a real piece of art on rails. And officially the most luxurious form of transportation in the world. A few days ago, it did its christening ride and the first passengers were impressed.
The Chinese are aiming for the title of 'first in the world' again, this time with the ART driverless train, which is a bus, tram and train in one. It does not drive on tracks, but on what will be white lines on the road.
