đźš‚ Every track has a story. What’s yours?
As I prepare to release my new single Train Track, I’ve been diving
deep into the world of trains - not only for their fascinating history but also
for what they symbolize: life’s endless journeys, departures, arrivals, and the
tracks we leave behind.
Did you
know?
- The very first passenger station in the world
opened in Liverpool, England, in 1830. A modest beginning that changed
how humanity moves forever.
- The largest train station today is Grand
Central Terminal in New York City, a breathtaking masterpiece with 44
platforms and 67 tracks. More than just a station, it’s a living movie
set of daily comings and goings.
- On the other end of the spectrum lies Damems
Station in the UK - one of the smallest stations, where trains only
stop on request. Proof that even the tiniest platforms can hold big
stories.
- Across the globe, there are tens of thousands
of stations - too many to count - each one a gateway to someone’s
story.
- India leads
the world with over 7,300 stations - a web of rails that connect
millions of lives daily.
- And if you wonder how many trains run worldwide
each day? Just in India alone, there are about 25,000 passenger
and freight trains daily. Multiply that across the globe, and the
number becomes staggering.
These facts remind me why trains have always been more than just machines.
They are metaphors for our lives - constant movement, choices of direction,
moments of stillness at stations, and the unstoppable flow of time.
That’s the heart of Train Track. It’s not just a song about rails
and stations - it’s about life’s railway.
Soon, I’ll be launching a photo and writing contest on Instagram and
my blog. I’ll be inviting you to share your own “train track stories” - whether
they’re about real journeys or metaphorical ones. The winning story will be
rewarded with an Amazon voucher (to buy books or music for your next ride).
