From the train up the Jungfrau -- a mountain in
Switzerland. Unadorned so you don't get distracted from the idyllic Alpine
views through the window. Jungfrau means "Virgin" in German.
Visit the V pages for more bags from the same firm? Thanks to Steffen Mathias.

I don't know what else to call this Swedish plastic bag. The grey man is
throwing what appears to be a perfectly good piece of paper into an office
wastepaper basket.
Thanks to Josef Gebele (2004) |

For the winding trip from Cusco to Machu Pichu. Concentrate on the
scenery: there's nothing to see on this bag.
Thanks to Josef Gebele (2007) |

Trevlig resa!, this pretty plastic bag exhorts. No idea what this
means. And I don't know what "SJ" means either. Anyone who speaks Swedish
want to enlighten us?
Enlightenment comes from
Ola Rinta-Koski of
Brisbane, who says that Trevlig resa! means "Have a nice trip!" and
SJ stands for Statens Järnvägar
= Swedish Rail (literally "National Railways")
Thanks to Josef Gebele for the bag (2004), and of course to Ola for the
translation. |

Thoughtful people, the Swedes: they provide a bag on the
airport train in case the thought of flying makes you feel sick.
"Lägg gärna ditt skräp här" it
tells you ("Please put your litter here", in case you didn't get
that) |

This one says "Gör tågresan till ett rent
nöje!"
Ola Rinta-Koski of
Brisbane says this means "Make the train trip a pure pleasure!" (or in one
of those hilarious double-entendres beloved in the bagworld, "...a clean
pleasure"). Thanks to Mark Brace.

A fascinating bag that doubles as a route map and an
advertisement for New Zealand's scenic railway system. Thanks to Bruce Kelly. (2002) |

A paper bag large enough to hold a whole observation car's worth of
garbage on a long trip over the Rockies.
Operation Lifesaver is an American campaign to stop people crossing level
crossings when a train is coming. Sounds like a good idea, but there's not
much point in convincing passengers once they're on the train, is there?
Perhaps the idea is to stop them from getting off and crossing the tracks
in front of the train as it pulls out of the station.
That would make it like those passenger announcements on board planes
that tell you to put your baggage in the overhead locker - when you're
already in your seat and the plane in taxiing along the runway.
Thanks to Bruce Kelly. (2006) |
