Hello there. Hope your day has gone well. Let’s get into the subject, then. We at Matouring are always banging on and on about using rail. In a way, it’s kind of gilding the lily. Most countries on the planet use rail every single day of every single year: it’s just what you do. Those of us who do know the wonders of rail thank our lucky stars each and every day, in turn.
We sometimes compare the rail efforts in the United States, which are good for commuter duties, but if you want to go further afield, the rail options are slim, and usually only Amtrak. We have nothing against Amtrak and we write about the service all the time. We even have it here were we live in the Pacific Northwest and use it whenever we can, but its routes are small, timetables are variable and prices are not really commensurate to the overall service. So, what to do in a catch 22 situation like this? Bring in the visionaries!
