Watch: half a million bees swarm seattle airport

Gone were the pleasure trips that saw families delighting in chugging and whistling their way across the country. Instead, diesel engines took over and the joy of rail travel was replaced by a pervasive view that trains should be used for commuting to work rather than days out.
