I've wanted to show you a picture of our train for some time and here it is, the E & N Dayliner, at its Southern Terminus and Station at the bottom of Pandora Avenue. The cream colored building just visible beyond the train is Swans Hotel, pictured below. Swans is one of my favorite downtown buildings. Built in 1913 as a granary and feed store it was transformed into a popular brewpub restaurant and hotel by the late Michael Williams, who lived in the top floor penthouse. He is immortalized in an interesting piece of public art nearby, which I will save for tomorrow's post.

The hotel looks beautiful!
That is a beautiful hotel, and the train as well. I love the street lights and hanging baskets. The whole scene is pleasant!
Look at that fabulous uplighting! You really captured it well.
Great shot as always. Swans is a favorite of mine too, Ben. Stayed there once years ago and enjoyed the pub so much I always make it a must stop on visits there to your fine city.
Right, so that's where I'll be staying then. 8^)
