(25,988 posts)35. It's despicable to even think of cutting train service.
Several years ago I took the train from New Mexico to Portland, OR, and it was simply the best trip ever. I'd like to do it again, as I have a son who lives in Portland, but of course money is always a bit of an issue.
Actually, what I'd really love to do is a giant trip from here (NM), to Los Angeles, then up to Seattle, then across to Chicago and back to NM. That would be at least four days on the train, which would be giant fun for me.
