Wishing he was driving the train!

For many years Guinness used their own special trains to move material around the brewery. The gauge of this very unique train was 22 inches. The tour of the Guinness Storehouse provides excellent information on the entire history of Guinness including these unique trains. If you want specific train info online, this is a good place.

In this picture you can see poppy envisioning himself spending a day driving a train and contributing to the production of a lot of very good beer. At the end of the day he is looking at his work place behind the "wheel" satisfied with a job well done. Of course, he will never be able to do this and will have to be content with simply drinking Guinness. Within in 30 minutes of this picture he was in the Gravity Bar drinking a pint.

  1. And did you hear about my Uncle who fell in a vat of beer and was drowned? But true to form, he got out three times to go for a pee...
