This is the instrumental I originally collected the David Gubler railway photographs for, which I ended up using for the "Aya Rocks V3: Sun Train" video as they were so good they distracted from the music of this superior "Isle of Yu Train Ride" ~ one of my favourites from my A list. Thus this new video only contains 1 train image and it's mirror version as the emphasis is on the music.

The Isle of Yu is fictional from a book I'm writing, thus as the drums, percussion, then shortly the bass and 2 rhythm guitars come in I image a steam train similar to that in the video chugging away from the capital's station platforms. When the marimba and kalimba next com in I picture the train crossing a network of railway lines just outside the station; then when the organ enters I see the train now passing through the outskirts of the small city of Yu. Next, as the piano solo flows in I imagine the train now travelling through Isle of Yu countryside on it's way to the coast; then finally when the guitar solo steams in I visualise being aboard the train and viewing a beautiful coast to the east. Eventually the journey ends at its destination, the smaller coastal city, Yuluv-meetu (not in the book!)..
