I’ve driven to Philly and Pittsburgh for many, many years. Once I realized how much more relaxing the train was, I swear I’ll never drive those again!
He looks a bit like Hermann Hesse, the great German writer! Very sympathetic, we agree what he says about travelling with the train!
Totally agree Evan. I’ve loved trains since I was a kid and now days, it sure beats flying.

Super awesome! Train travel is amazing. It COULD be SO much better in the States if we would invest in it a bit
This is why I love train travel over plane or bus travel
That was really interesting. I’ve often wondered about traveling across N America by train, and you’ve got my mind spinning again!
That sounds like so much fun. I did that 10 years ago, B4 the empty net. Minneapolis MN to Austin TX. Some of the nicest people to ride with.
