The longest train ride and how long does it take to build a house?

Posted By on June 20, 2026

This could have been two separate posts, but since I don’t know that much about either to make a single post, I’m combining them into one.

From Portugal to Singapore

First, BrilliantMaps reposted a Map Of The Longest Possible Train Journey In The World on X.com and since I love looking at maps, thought this train ride would be a long and wild one. The map above shows the longest theoretical train journey in the world today, from Lagos in Portugal all the way to Singapore. 

Ron and Claire's Lake Erie house

Second, my brother’s Lake Erie house is coming along. He sent me a photo that I’ll archive with the previous along with a couple memories on Lagoon Drive – Howard Farms property (our childhood home). I can’t wait to see it in person … as we did in 2017 before it was up for sale.

By the way, the “from the lake” view photo below is from one of our childhood friends, Vern Meinke … as my brother commented, “while trespassing with his wife.” 😊
