Railway art in Ghent

Mrs R and I have just got back from a week in the lovely Belgian city of Ghent. Now I realise that one man's street art can be another man's mindless vandalism but the city of Ghent has legitimised the use of the rattle can in appropriate locations. It's even promoted as a tourist attraction in it's own right. I'm very much in the it's creative artwork camp and I thought I'd share a couple of rail related pieces from the art trail. I hope you enjoy them too.

Thank you Neil. I particularly enjoyed the tram (lots of messaging) and the Simpsons meme on the website. Next time we do Wipers we wil have to go via a day in Ghent.

Nice to see a reasonable depiction of Walschaerts valve gear on the locomotive... very appropriate for Belgium.

Ghent is lovely. I have visited quite a bit with work over the years and have really enjoyed staying there. The beer, of course, is excellent.
