A little trip to Jundiaí

 

Lutch & Myself took a little train trip to Jundiaí-SP on 12 December 2018. We decided we wanted to go all the way to the end of the tracks... and that's what we did. 
In older days Jundiaí was considered a different town. It is still an autonomous municipality but now one can take a local train at Luz Station and ride all the way to Jundiaí paying only the price of a local fare. Not many people take this train all the way to the final destination. That's why the station looks so deserted... 
As one can see not many people use this line. The train we arrived in had already departed and it looked like it had never been there at all.
