The scenery is absolutely incredible from a train that you don't see by car and it's very relaxing, affordable and you can hang out in the lounge car or whatever and meet other passengers if you wish. It's green also! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31079809771482270.post-84771181899559594492013-12-11T07:25:41.674-08:002013-12-11T07:25:41.674-08:00Exactly, Lynn: bringing the love of the land back ...Exactly, Lynn: bringing the love of the land back to flyover states is the best way to teach the importance of preserving habitats.

I'd rather take the train then fly any day rather than be charged for everything including the bathroom the way it's going with fees. Our family took Amtrak years ago and it worked great being able to walk around, enjoy the scenery and the food was delicious and very reasonable for prices. Too bad we don't have rail service like Europe or Japan. It's a step in the right direction though. Lynn G.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
