Occasionaly, I post travel logs from some of my train and photography trips through Europe on social media. Mostly on Mastodon, sometimes also on Bluesky. As old threads they are quite difficult to find, especially with Mastodons limited search capabilities, I put together a list of all my train and travel threads which are still online.
If a thread unexpectedly ends, klick on the last of my posts in the thread. The next few posts should then load.
