Train Rides....

[Demonica69]

Has anyone ever been on a train? Or have you ever taken a train across country? Is it scary? LOL. My fiance and I are moving back to Nebraska in 11 days!! And we are selling everything and taking a train....im scared shitless LOL because I dont know how it is or anything?

 

[NuckingFuts]

I have never been on a train here in the states. But i took trains all over Italy and Spain. They are pretty fun.

You'll be fine! You won't get yourself pinched between drawbars or fall out of the vestebules anywhere. You'll see a lot of countryside, and parts of towns, that aren't seen from the highways. Some really pretty, some not pretty at all. I bet you'll want to take another train trip as soon as you can.

 

[AnitaBeer]

I've always wanted to take a trip by train.

 

[MoonOwl]

I took many cross-country train trips as a kid. Always in a cabin. I enjoyed them all.

If you ride the train this is what you'll be in for.................

[Darrell]

Yeah, it's nothing to worry about. It's mostly just boring IMO.

 

[freakofnature]

I've always wanted to take a trip by train.

:homo:

When I was a kid my family traveled from Edmonton to somewhere in BC and then back to Manitoba by train. It was awesome. I've always wanted to do another train trip to BC but it's never really worked out. The train here in Canada is expensive and it's difficult to find a schedule that works for me.

 

[Natasha]

I took the train from Boston to New York City. Not a long ride, but it's nothing to be scared of at all. I quite enjoy it, actually.

 

[Darrell]

Honestly, you probably have a better chance of being hit by a bus, and killed than the train crashing.

 

[freakofnature]

Don't watch Super 8 before traveling by train and it will all be good.

 

[Springsteen]

I always have to listen to music to pass the time when I get the train. Passes the time well.

:24: At people on this thread who have never been on a train. Sorry, maybe it's just a cultural thing but it's like asking "have you ever breathed in air?"

I've traveled the train many times when I was younger and what sticks out the most is this....

1 - The bar car
2 - The incessant noise
3 - Not being able to sleep
4 - Food prices are out of this world
5 - Arrival and departure to / from my selected cities was always at night or in the wee hours of the morning

Peter you need to keep in mind that train travel in North America is not anywhere near as popular or available as it is in your country.

 

[Zorak]

To get to London you take the train. Everybody does, driving and parking in London is somewhat of an art form.

I do like Train Journeys, I like the scenery and the rocking and the noise and all of it. I much prefer it to travel by coach or bus.

when were you in my neck of the woods?????

 

[AnitaBeer]

This thread gave me a good idea for a mini vaca with my boys next summer. They do train rides on the west side of my state and I'm thinking I may take the boys to do that.
