I love traveling by train. Been doing it since I was a kid in the late 50's and early 60's. My dad did not like flying, so we rode the 20th Century Limited and the Santa Fe Super Chief when we'd go to visit grandparents in California from where we I grew up in NJ.

As an adult, I've ridden the Coast Starlight from Los Angeles to Seattle, made the Canada by rail trip from Toronto to Vancouver, taken advantage of fast trains in Europe, and ridden trains from where I live now in NC north to Washington DC and NYC, and south to Charleston.

I just love train travel. Thanks for posting photos of your trip!
