Yeah. And we will demand the government pay for it for us. Maybe we can make it another entitlement.

yeah right.........a few years ago me the and the family thought about taking the train for a mini vacation out to western Kansas.

Please, hundreds of dollars for a trip to Dodge City, not to mention the WHOLE point of taking the train was to see the scenery. But Guess what...Them trains only run a NIGHT!!! Jeez maybe it's different in Missouri shoot I don't know, just more wasted government money

Most of the scenic rides in Colorado have gone bankrupt.

You know, the only tenuously profitable line in Amtrak runs from DC to Boston. I have taken it several times and don’t recall any great landscapes. I just remember seeing a whole lot of spray paint taggers art on every available surface. I guess if you like tag art, you’re gonna love Amtrak.

“Senior Focus: Train travel can be scenic”

But not affordable.

For me, it was from London to Hong Kong, with the biggest highlight being the Trans-Siberian. What a trip! I love travelling by train. Beats any other.
