In her two blogs, Figments of a DuTchess and DOLDRIEST, Marion Driessen has set the current six-word story challenge theme as:
TRANSPORT
VERVOER
Hopefully, my attempt works in both languages:
Invisible chains linking time and space
Onzichtbare kettingen koppelen tijd en ruimte

En die poging is gelukt, Col! Beeldend geschreven, waarbij je meteen terugdenkt aan de oude treinen van weleer.
And you succeeded, Col! Your words call up images of days gone by, old trains. Beautiful.

Wow! You clever chap you! Well done Col! Oh, I miss the train rides. I loved it and when I think of it I can still smell that green leather. LOL! Thanks for sharing my friend. 🙂 *hugs*

Thank you!
My mind goes back to when a train was a magic carpet back to heaven, when we moved from Knysna to Johannesburg but I used to be sent ‘home’ for holidays. Those were in the days we no longer had our plane.

You are very welcome Col and oh, I would trade a plane any day for a train ride Col and you said it my friend…a magic carpet it was indeed. I used to go and visit my grandparents and drove the train from Kimberley to Warden and even took a few trips from Kimberley to Pretoria. Oh, those were the days indeed. 🙂

I must say, though, that our little Hornet Moth upstaged a train any day! Landing on the sands at low tide, or on the golf course … *sigh*

Yes, I well remember that Funicular Railway (which means raised and lowered using a cable on a drum) on the Bluff slopes at the old Harcourt Hotel. It is a pity it hasn’t survived – a real asset to the area.

I like that, even if I don’t understand Dutch.
Have a nice evening.

Thanks! It is a fun way to focus the mind.
I hope politeness won’t stop people from pointing out errors, or more idiomatic ways for the Dutch side!

A knowledge of Afrikaans makes it much easier to translate. At least one can usually tell if Google has gone off the rails.
‘Off the rails’ fits this theme – hahaha!
