All The Live long Day...."Now departing on Track Two"!

I enjoy train travel more than any other type of traveling. Way back in '67, I took the train 3,000 miles from Vancouver to Toronto. It took 3 days/nights.

Fast forward a few decades to my years in South Australia when my daughter visited me. I took her on a train journey to Melbourne, on an overnight train. We have reminisced about that trip, as it was so enjoyable.
 

Bill Boggs On the Orient Express train between Venice and Paris​

"Take a luxurious ride on the famed Orient Express, the long-distance passenger train created in 1883. Bill dines in high style in a 1929 Pullman Dining car. Immortalized by Agatha Christie, the Orient Express evokes mystery and extravagance."

Me too Pinky. I traveled from Newark, N.J. to Tampa, Fla. in 2019. It was such a comfortable ride that took a little more than 24 hours. The lady sitting next to me turned out to be the best seat mate; we had so much fun. I had good "neighbors" across from me on the way back, so that was a fun trip too. I'd do it again if I could. I'd have to stay at least 7 days and I don't want to be away from Deja that long. Last time I stayed with my Honorary Son #1 and his fiancee and extended my stay from 7 to 10 days. I now enjoy watching Amtrak travelers' videos.

This is the likely the train I'd take except I'd start the second stop, Newark.

One of the sights that amazed my wife and I when we used to visit a friend in Savannah GA, was the length of some of America's freight trains. It looked like they went on beyond the horizon.
