Question

I once went on a train, has anyone else ever travelled in such a manner?

Answer 1

I thought they were a myth.

Answer 2

Yes, train travel is 1,000 times more fun than air travel for the following reasons.

On the long haul Amtrak trains the seats recline to a sleeping position.

You have room for your things.  You can take with you your own food and drinks (but not alcohol).

You can get up and walk around all you want.  You aren't trapped with a seat belt, turbulance is rare.

You tend to solcialize more on a train then a cattle car airplane.

You can dine in the dining car.  Get snacks and drinks in the Snack Bar.

You can see parts of the country that you will never see on a plane.

You can play games, watch tv, use your computer (no internet that I am aware of).

Life can be fun.  Try it, you will like it.

Answer 3

You don't get out much do you?

Answer 4

Yes

Answer 5

I have. It was strangely full of young persons wearing noisy machines which seemed to be attached to their ears.

From time to time they would remove these machines and take out completely different noisy machines into which they would shout "I'm on the train!" very loudly.

I found the whole experience most distressing and do not intend to repeat it.

Answer 6

Yes, several times.

Answer 7

I'd swear by the train! It is the best way to get between short distances. No traffic jams. That's the best.

Answer 8

yes it was great and i went on a bus,a big red one.
