Riding the Ella train, slowly
A placeholder guide to the hill-country train — which seats, which side, and why the slow option beats the fast one.

Placeholder prose. Replace with real writing before publishing.
This is a guide-type post: practical, structured, still in our own voice.
When to go
Mornings are clearer; afternoons cloud over the valley. Placeholder advice follows in plain sentences so the reading-time estimate is realistic.
Which side to sit
For the famous views, choose the right-hand side heading east. A short placeholder paragraph keeps this section honest.
Reserving seats
Nested heading for TOC depth. Reserved seats sell out days ahead in season; unreserved carriages are a scrum but you can stand in the doorway.
What to bring
Water, a hat, and patience. The train is slow on purpose, and that is the point.
