“Scenery: It’s A-plus. The windows are wide, offering us breathtaking views of the mountains. We saw mule deer, bald eagles and a moose on our journey.”
This is an amazing statement, last time I was on the Empire Builder, it went through the mountains at night and across North Dakota during the day. Nice planning there.
But yes, it was an otherwise nice 2 1/2 day ride to the west coast.
Beyond that, I don’t see anywhere in the article which suggests, as the headline misleads, that rail travel is “making a comeback”!
Agreed. My car has windows, and I can stop whenever I want. Try that on the train.
For the heck of it, I just did a quick cost comparison for a possible upcoming trip: AMTRAK, round trip, was 3 times the cost of flying.
No thanks.
For some weird reason, this is the part you see during the daylight hours.
