I have always loved trains...I get it from my father who traveled exclusively by train until he married my mother....who owned a car...I am a retired senior, and it has been many years since I traveled by train. I grew up in Central PA and went to school in New York City. Every vacation, I went home by train, NYC to Lewistown and back. Mostly pre-Amtrak. I did some Amtrak travel also, until I left NYC in 1974. Since then, my only passenger train travel has been on trains in Europe, where I lived for three years in the 70's. Like Garry (Diecasaussie), whom I recognize from a cruise forum, most of my travel has been cruising, but I have been considering traveling cross-country by train to our next venture...PHL to San Diego. I travel with my (one year) older sister, who lives in PA. WE did a long car trip from PA to the Grand Canyon and back in July/Aug. this year, and tucked in a ride on the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad. really enjoyed that ride...
I have a guilty little secret...I live on the main line of the CSX and drive a few miles down the road and sit in a parking lot to watch for the Silver Meteor and the Autotrain to go through. Northbound. Their on time record seems to be abysmal. They go through southbound much too early for me...Looking forward to reading, and asking a few questions...Carolyn
