Have you ever taken a trip by rail?

I have always wanted to ride a train but never had the chance

When I was 5,my grandmother and I took a train from Portland to Seattle.It was very fun

I've taken several train trips in the past on Amtrak as my wife is a bit afraid to fly. The ride itself (to me) felt very similar to flying with the way the seats and aisle are laid out and the swaying motion of the train felt a bit like slight air turbulence in a plane. The main difference is the length of time it takes to get where you are going. But I always felt like the train travel was the most relaxing part of a trip! There is so much more to see on a train than in a car or bus or plane - at least that has been my experience. But that also requires a window or lounge car seat to take it all in.


I have no immediate plans, but intend to take several more train rides in the future.

I have never taken a trip by rail before, I don't know why though Lol I either go by car or plane.

When I was growing up, riding by train was very common.

It was safe too. When I was in my early teens (13 etc), my folks would put me on a train from Illinois to Jacksonville Florida.

We had a porter who would try to put me with other teens on the dining car for dinner, and then would go to my little private compartment to sleep etc.

Fun, and easy peasy.

No, I've never taken a trip by rail, but it sounds amazing! I've been on planes; I've been on a cruise; I've been on road trips. But I've yet to take a trip by train. In the movies it always looks so inviting!

No maybe one day

[teresa3200]

No, but that sounds so exciting. I didn't realize we still had passenger trains that went through central florida. I thought those were all discontinued years ago.

I haven't taken a trip by train before, but I've rode some of the city trains they have in the city. I have rode a small train, just not a big one yet!

I have never taken a trip by rail, but it sounds exciting. I am not into planes too much so I look into rail and buses as an alternative. The rail seems cool though.
