I'm personally very fond of train cab ride videos (e.g. [this video] ). You can find these on YouTube with music as well, but pairing them with local radio (in this case one of the SWR channels [LINK] ) could also be nice in this project as a non-car option.

I've been watching and unreasonable amount of train cab ride videos on youtube. Some how it's a good way to unwind at the end of the day, and pretend I can actually go somewhere :-) [this video]

Some of my favorite long ones. They are incredibly relaxing. Washington DC - Seattle full trip [LINK] All PS2 games ever released [LINK] (and they have a video for every single major console too) Switzerland to Italy through the Bernina pass train ride [this video] Tokyo subway Yamanote line full loop (even though it's only 1 hour long) [LINK] Tokyo highway trip [LINK]

Looking forward to some nice cabride vids from this line. My favorite from this part of Europe is the Bernina Express across the alps from Switzerland to Italy. Definetly worth a slow tv watch if you love trains. (e.g. [this video] )
