In-Depth Information
More than anything, your train ride should be relaxing. That
doesn't come automatically to everyone, so you may have to
work a bit at making that mental adjustment. Some people just
can't manage it. My sister once talked her husband into taking
the train from Denver to San Francisco. He enjoyed the spectacu-
lar scenery as they wound their way through the Rockies west
of Denver; but somewhere in Nevada the next morning, as they
were rolling along beside a highway, he suddenly sat straight up
in his seat. “Good God! Those cars are moving faster than we
are! They'll get there before we do!” Not true, of course, and he
never could explain why that should matter anyway, but he was
agitated and impatient for the rest of the trip.
Why travel by train? Because compared to the alternatives, it's
comfortable, relaxing, and
civilized
. Most of all, it will broaden
and elevate your appreciation and understanding of our country
and its people. That's the United States of America out there,
passing by right outside your living room window.
