Great experience. I hate flying. I get incredibly anxious, woozy, and my ears don’t take well to the pressure changes. Plus I always wanted to see the country via train. After deciding to go across country for school, I figured it’d be the perfect time to take a train. I’ve taken the trip by train four times now and will continue to do so. Great when you want a nice, leisurely ride with some beautiful scenery. You meet the most interesting people that way, as well. It’s rather lovely.
Bathrooms are pretty miserable but it’s a small price to pay for a nice trip. 3 years ago
I want to go either to Vancouver BC or Portland (by way of Seattle, since there are no passenger trains here). 3 years ago

I find that one of the best things about travelling is a train trip. I simply enjoy them. The ablity to meet new and interesting people. How the slow unwinding of the scenery allows your mind and thoughts to unwind.
Definitely a must. 4 years ago
...since I watched “Murder on the Orient Express.” “Midnight Run” drove the idea home. 4 years ago
I traveled to New York City by train for the first time a few years ago, and enjoyed it so much that i go as often as i can now. 4 years ago
There’s absolutely no way to live in europe and not end up on the train… 4 years ago
