On 16 December 1969, the Apollo 13 spacecraft spent 5 hours rolling slowly from the VAB to launchpad 39A. There was snow on the ground, in Florida. The spacecraft launched on its fatefull mission 4 months later.

On the 'express train' from Chitose Airport to Sapporo in Japan's Hokkaido. It's like the line from Inverness to Wick, only slower and packed.
