Cash in on Expo train

I am a native English speaker who is familiar with only a few common Chinese characters. During the Labor Day long weekend, I visited Shaoxing in Zhejiang province. For my return trip to Ningbo, I had the pleasure of riding on the new "D" train.

To help pass the time, I thought I would read the magazine provided by the railways, that is, Passengers 39, dated April 20, 2010. But I found I could read little other than the Railway News Release on page 6. Thankfully, there were some great pictures in the magazine.
