Have you ever traveled by train? I'm usually not a big fan of it. I rarely take a train for my long trip, I mean long hours.... It's terrible!
But the last trip that I traveled, I had to take a train from downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Chicago, Illinois. I decided to use the service of Amtrak. The train station is right next to the main street in downtown, and it's very connivence to just buy the ticket at the train station ( only $22 for one-way ticket) without booking and catch on the train. I really enjoyed taking this train, I have seen cities and small towns during my trip. It was such a great experience in my life. I was so excited even though the views were only houses, trees, buildings, and...not many things to see.
For some good reasons that people like to travel by train because
1. It is safe and comfortable.
2. It is inexpensive.
3. Passengers can carry more baggages.
4. Fares are stable.
5. It is relaxing.
I agree with all 5 reasons. Most of trains in USA are much nicer than many countries. That is the reason why I feel safe and relax when I take a train. A train always makes loud noises, but it doesn't bother me at all, I like to listen to it :)
I have heard from many friends that the train trip in Rocky mountains is one of the best trips to do. Thus if I get a chance, I will do it...for sure!
Here are some nice photos that I have taken in Milwaukee and my podcast about this trip.
