not a freight company

          

Miriam Hechtman ~ Moving Trains Productions

I have worked in the media for over a decade. As a writer, researcher and producer, I have covered diverse topics including workplace health, ethical investment, climate change, business, green buildings and travel. From methane digesters in San Francisco and lake salt discovery in Western Australia, to the inspiring tales of Holocaust survivors, I have had the privilege to give voice to a kaleidoscope of issues for an ever widening audience. An avid traveller, I have spent much time abroad on trains, planes and buses, meeting fascinating people with extraordinary stories. My intention is to enquire into my subject matter with depth, curiosity and insight.

 

What’s with the trains? Trains have always been a favourite form of transport for me. I like the idea that something is on the move and is progressing forward. Travelling by train allows you to appreciate the landscape, feel the rhythm of the wheels in motion, inhale the aroma of places discovered and stay grounded. I have travelled on trains in India, Israel, Canada, America, France, Australia, Berlin, Singapore, London, Holland, Italy and Switzerland, to name a few. Riding on trains has given me the opportunity to write, listen, engage, watch and be in the world.
