In the borderline split between freight with carriage attached, and passenger with wagon attached, I am accepting most of the latter. I'm capping at five photos per member per day, avoiding flooding, and maximising member participation. If you see a good photo elsewhere, send me a message with the link, and I can extend an invitation.

Group Description
I've ridden aboard mixed trains on six continents.There are great differences in the style and culture around the six.
I'm Australian, and they were very common on our many sparsely-settled routes.
A lot have now vanished from the world, but there are still some.
When does a freight with a carriage attached become a passenger train with wagons attached?
Unarguable: advertised as a mixed in timetables, even on days when there only a few wagons.
Fairly safe: more wagons than carriages.
