It is a proper place to pass the time without needing to rush anywhere. Locals know that the railway line offers a bit of history on a rainy afternoon or a sunny day out. You can catch a glimpse of steam engines while waiting for your own train, and there are plenty of spots to sit and watch the world go by.
