The train was running late, but the 35 aboriginal children who had travelled for two hours through the South Australian desert to meet it did not seem to mind. It was, after all, Australia's and one of the world‘s most unusual train journeys. When the Indian Pacific passenger train finally ground to a halt at Watson, a siding on Australia's transcontinental line,the children burst into a rendition of a Spanish Christmas song, “Feliz Navidad”, as Father Christmas disembarked to distribute gifts. Watson is a red desert moonscape on the Nullarbor Plain at the eastern end of the world's longest stretch of straight rail track, 478km (297 miles)。
This is a mere one-tenth of the 4,352km, three-day journey the train was making between Sydney on Australia‘s east coast and Perth on the west coast. The Indian Pacific and its predecessors, such as the Tea and Sugar Train that took provisions to isolated outback communities, were once symbols of Australia's conquest of its vast distances. But by the 1990s, air travel and the neglect of Australia’s railways by their federal and state-government owners almost killed the last east-west passenger train. After threatening to close the loss-making Indian Pacific, the federal government in Canberra sold it and the Ghan,another outback passenger train, to Great Southern Railway (GSR), a British-owned private consortium, in 1997. GSR has now turned a first-year loss of A$20m ($15m) into a small operating profit by restoring rolling stock, hiring young, multi-skilled, non-unionised crews and re-marketing the trains to locals and tourists alike. One innovation was to send the Indian Pacific on a whistle-stop Christmas run taking gifts and music to the outback. This year's journey, the fifth,with impromptu concerts at remote sidings by Jimmy Barnes, an Australian rock star, drew the biggest crowds so far. Broken Hill, a town in western New South Wales struggling since its big silver, lead and zinc mine started winding down, now relies on the Indian Pacific‘s tourist passengers for economic lifeblood. The Ghan's revival on the north-south transcontinental line has been even more remarkable. The 65,000-plus passengers it carried through the Northern Territory in 2004 were 60% more than in the previous year. Public interest grew after the opening of a new line between Alice Springs and Darwin, allowing people to make the two-day journey from Adelaide by rail for the first time. GSR plans to double the Ghan‘s frequency in 2005. The railway revival still has inefficiencies to overcome. The Indian Pacific competes for space on the single track with trains that carry 80% of the freight between Australia's east and west coasts. Though most of the line is straight and flat,speed limitations mean this is not a journey for anyone in a hurry. 注(1):本⽂选⾃Economist; 12/18/2004, p54-54, 2/5p; 注(2):本⽂习题命题模仿对象2004年真题Text 1; 1.What was the Indian Pacific like before its selling to GSR?

旅游-2005年NPR美国国家公共电台九月-The Romance of Train Travel Never Fades
descends an hour earlier tonight. And tomorrow children in costumes will prowl
about.Thanksgiving can't be far behind. You've probably already made your travel arrangements,
the mere mention of a train trip sends commentator Ruth Levy Guyer into a reverie.
I am always daydreaming about train travel. Frozen lakes and mid-night sun on the Oslo-to-Arctic
route, gold mines in the vast outback along Australia's Indian Pacific line. But while it's intriguing
to contemplate the exotic, I also get Jazzed riding rolling stock along the Northeast corridor. Every
week from January to May. I ride the rails. Monday mornings, I head north to the college where I
teach. Late on Thursdays, I ride south to my home. And even though I know I'll board again in three
days, I always feel a twinge of envy watching people get on as I step down.
When I was a kid, we took the overnight train every summer to Nashville to visit Grandma Suzi.
We'd sleep in what seems to be a huge Pullman and eat in the dinning car with the starched white
table cloths, club sandwiches and forbidden sodas. I would sashay through the cars, swaying along
with the train, feeling graceful as an ice dancer as I glided over the inter-car metal plates. So when
my daughters were little, I arranged for us to take the transcontinental train to visit their West Coast
grandparents. My husband was skeptical, especially about the deluxe sleeper I reserved.” This could
add new meaning to the word deluxe" he grumbled. Ok, so what if the room was a tad snug? My
girls were slim and slept comfortable and angelically in a single upper bunk along with all of their
dolls. And so what if the shower and toilet were fused? Our daughters were gleeful every time by
mistake or probably on purpose. They pushed the wrong button and emerged from the bath room
drenched. The two coasts were connected by rail in 1969 when trainmen ceremoniously hammered
a golden spike into the track at Promontory Point, Utah. In those days buffalo were a perpetual
menace .They'd scratch their backs on telegraph poles and knock the poles onto the tracks. Most of
the buffalo are gone now. But the week before we rode the Empire Builder, it actually hit a buffalo.
Our trainman's story of untangling guts, cartilage and bone from the wheels was juicy.
We lugged a huge bag of books on board and read nothing. For days we sat transfixed, staring at the
vast, gorgeous remarkable countryside. “Thank you” said my husband, “for dragging me kicking
and screaming onto this train.”
Trains go where cars can and cannot, into canyons, along rivers, through mountains, sidling up to
backyards and into town centers. So much about trains is visionary. Imagine that early 20th century
trainman who saw no obstacle to laying 153 miles of track out onto the ocean. He simply assembled
wonderful sounding stuff, crushed limestone marrow and gravel riprap into raised road beds to
connect the outmost Keys to the Florida mainland.
So much past is present in railroads. Their graceful, gorge-spanning wooden bridges and trestles
come straight out of LENONARDO DA VINCI's sketch books. The other evening I stepped onto
the track near my home and stared off until my eyes met the vanishing point, where the glistening
iron rail seemed to merge. I knew the tracks would never do that. But I thought if the trains
themselves were ever to vanish, the romance of travel would surely be lost.
Commentator Ruth Guyer rides the rails regularly to Haverford College where she teaches courses
in bioethics, infectious disease and social justice.
