In fact, these plants will be visible to the passengers inside the cabin as well as to the people outside away from the train. The reason for making it transparent to the external side, is to allow sun rays enter inside, which is very essential for the growth of plants. The carbon dioxide gases are absorbed by the plants through small ports. Cute Vintage Ice Cream Trucks. "QUANTUM SHOT" #748Link - article by Simon Rose and Avi Abrams "Stop Me & Buy Some!
