Rail travel?
    #27047544 - 11/19/20 03:21 PM (3 years, 2 months ago)

Wondering if anyone enjoys travelling by train? Instead of going fast, taking it more layed back. Especially in places like Eastern Europe, all a bit simpler, slower. Take a beer (or something else), enjoy the motion through the landscape. Plus of course, it's much more sustainable, less than 25% the CO2-emissions of flying.

So, anyone?

I absolutely love traveling by train, particularly on long journeys if the inside of the train has decent or nice amenities and stuff like that. It doesn't have to be spectacular, but a car where you can get some food or snacks, some tables, maybe an observation car. A sleeper car is a must have if it's a multi day ride. I'd love to have been able to go on something like the Orient Express, that's like my dream.

It's not trains themselves so much, it's more like a luxurious slow road trip. I've met some people who are crazy about trains themselves, which is weird to me. I just like the ride, it's more the orient express type of experience than anything about trains.

In the US, the trains go a lot of places that you really can't get to other ways, so you can see a lot of landscape that hard to see otherwise.

I'd love to go on the trans siberian rail road one day, but it probably won't happen.

The national passenger rail service here (Via Rail) is pretty overpriced. Relative to air travel it's priced like a luxury.

There was an Ontario Northlands train I used to like taking from Toronto to Cochrane in Northern Ontario but is now just buses. But the train from Cochrane to Moosonee, on James Bay, still runs. Always wanted to take that one sometime.

Epic.

I loved traveling through Switzerland and Austria by train. The train rides were probably some of my favorite parts of the trips, we routed our travel through the most scenic areas so the views were insane. I want to do a Canadian rockies rail trip but the prices are pretty steep.

I really just like not having to drive too. Even taking the train to school and work was awesome, just kick back and read a book or stare out the window instead of having to worry about traffic or crazy drivers

Problem with the train for me is I always end up drinking on them...

a multi-day train trip someplace 'exotic' sounds amazing

been watching some of those 12 hour POV train rides on youtube when i am 'winding down' at night during covid, but they end up getting me worked up bc i want to see what's around the next corner

Yes, indeed. I don't get how people choose to drive if they can read a book on the train :smile:.

But long-distance rides in sleeping cars are the best. Do it in Europe all the time. Would be great to one day cross the US in a sleeper train...
