Train Ride back to Irkutsk

 President and Sister Lamb and Elder Smith getting ready to board the Train back to Irkutsk from Ulan-Ude after Zone Conference.
 The train on the tracks.
 Narrow hallway in the train cars - notice the small brown 'jump seats' on the wall - people would put them down and sit in the hall.  Bathrooms were at each end - and only were available between stops.
 Our four beds coupe on the return night train.
 Bedding on the top bunk - the mission purchases all four tickets for the senior couple to have a coupe of their own. 
 It was nice to see the other side of the tracks - some pretty scenery again.  Actually saw a horse pulling a sleigh!  very picturesque! 
The night train stopped about 6 times in small villages and loaded and unloaded people on and off the train.  It was nice to see the stars when it got dark and we were still in the countryside.  Living in a big city in a big apartment building it is not possible - too much light!
