What is it about train tracks?

Three days on the Eastern & Oriental Express, from Singapore to Bangkok. Mind-bending luxury. Breakfast served in your private berth. Egrets rising up from rice paddies at dawn. But my favorite part was always just standing at the back, watching the track unspool endlessly.
