Very inspiring images, Frank.  I like the surreal "midnight" look of them.

Privatisation of the National Railways provides us with trains with diversified colours, at a higher cost to everyone.

'Tog' has a lot of meanings. amongst them, something that appear as items in a row, a parade, and so on. Tangential meanings as in a rope or something being pulled.

Yes, I too like the colours.

However the privatisation of utilities in Australia and NZ have likewise also brought consumers nothing but extreme price rises, reduced reliability, and general misery.

The NZ rail system became so run down under privatisation that the NZ government had to re-nationalise it at iimmense cost in order to make it safe again.  How bloody dumb!

End of rant!

(Yep, and I also lost my job when my outfit was privatised - a minor inconvenience for me, but awful for many.)
