I guess I’m one of those train fans. I’ve taken the train from NJ to New Orleans (and back) twice. I’m commuting by train now and I love that too.
My grandfather was a conductor on the 20th Century Limited that ran from NY to Chicago. He knew many celebrities from his job. So it’s in my blood I suppose.
In fact, it’s one of my life’s dreams to take the train across country, but it would be expensive.
I will say that by far the best crab cakes I ever had were the ones I had on Amtrak. Crab cakes and fried green tomatoes, delish!
