Actually trains are fantastic - if you live very near.
There is none of the nonsense about airports and all the extra wasted time added on there. Further, airports are usually located well away from the actual points of interest, whereas the train is right in there (NYC, to wit).
Air is only worth it after a certain distance….maybe. Not sure what that is….maybe a 3-hr trip on train is the limit.
It takes as long to drive to your destination and you are worn out doing it. Might as well enjoy the rest.
My problem with train travel is the masking required today, and the fact that you can’t carry (firearm) on board. I know it’s the same with plane travel, but for some reason, being on the ground, I shouldn’t be separated from my Second Amendment Right.
