Train journeys make great weekend getaways, great summer vacations, fundraisers and reunion locations. There are dozens of affordable trips that families can take. Seniors can relax and enjoy traveling once again. If you live near a railroad, take a day trip up and back just to see the scenery. It is a great way to entertain your kids during summer vacation.
Schools can take short trips as field trips.
Additionally the train can be a safe comfortable way to travel to work, to get from one place to another, especially great for those who hate to fly, or can't sit for the long flights on an airline. If there is, I don't know what it could be. You can go anywhere and even stop and visit along the way. The fees are very reasonable. If you are young and flexible, the coach is the cheapest.
