No. I have never traveled by train because I haven’t lived in an area where there would be enough ridership available according to population and density of the population for a train.

I've never traveled by train, but think it would be interesting for a short distance trip.

I took the Amtrak once and the whistle at at light or cross street almost drove me crazy.  I took the bullet train in France and it was a nice 5 hour ride.  A dog sit there quietly during the entire ride and it was amazing.

I never took a train a long distance, but last summer we went on a train ride.  It took us all through Amish country in Lancaster PA.  The ride was about 1 hour and I loved it.

Haven't taken a trip by train in a while, but I used to enjoy it.  Much less stressful than taking a plane - less security to go through and you have more seat space.  Much better than bus too, I get carsick when ever there's bad traffic.  I love eating my meal while watching the view go by.  I hope you enjoy your trip!

I am very excited at 64 to be taking my first trip albeit short by rail to visit with my sister-in-law for a week. It is just from FL to SC but I am a hermit and a miserable one I figured this will get me out of the house.  Later she and I might go on a long trip by rail up into canada.  Have you ever taken a trip by train and did you enjoy it?

I LOVE train trips … :)

When I was in college in Pennsylvania, I took a trip to Hershey via train. It was an OK experience, but I prefer taking more "traditional" ground transportation (e.g., car, bus).

I have never taken a long trip by train but have always wanted to and am very jealous of the trip you are about to take. I hope you both have a wonderful time (which I am sure you will)!
