The train running at night might have been a blessing. Train tracks always run through the industrial areas and through the trashy est part of every town. In France trains run in a ditch with high walls on both sides most of the time, so you see NOTHING. I took a train through Switzerland one time and that was pretty nice.

“I took a train through Switzerland one time and that was pretty nice.”

I rode the train from Mannheim, Germany to Vicenza, Italy. Went through Switzerland. One of the things that I hope I never forget in my life. I loved it. Unfortunately I also know that sort of train system just is not feasible in the United States or else I would be an advocate.

I suppose so, but we went in our gas guzzling van to Dodge City and got to see Western Kansas anyway. So it was all good. Amtrack go pound sand
