You hear about people traveling by plane and bus all the time, but I NEVER hear of anyone taking a train (AMTRAK) somewhere. I would kind of like to try it out once and see if its kind of fun. Obviously trains are big in Europe but I think more people prefer flying here in the states when it comes to large distances.

 

I was booked to take AMTRAK to Denver from Iowa last week. Two days before we are ready to go they called and left a message saying the train would no longer be making the route and sorry for any inconvenience. I had to find plane tickets for 4 people in under 48 hours.



Wasn't really happy and I didn't even get to see the train.
