Training the distance was my favorite mode of travel because, in those days (anyways), there were no highway signs or signs of <i>civilization</i> for hundreds of miles. Watching Nature watch us speed through Her was a narcotic experience. And, I was able to catch a little more sleep than I would have behind the wheel!R W Rawleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06602434711520754614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613729047769383491.post-66678308050303197112011-12-20T16:51:30.861-06:002011-12-20T16:51:30.861-06:00Marilyn, It is a unique way to view life.

I love looking out into the world as it sleeps, seeing the trees against the night sky and having glimpses of the lives of others in brightly lit windows.

My husband and I loved Chicago and would take the train from Minneapolis to Chicago. A fun trip that was. It would be a sentimental journey to take a train again, now.

It took about 4 hours and we had to change train in the middle and drive with a "bumletog" (old train hopping) the last piece of the way. I was about 6-7 when I went there alone. All my school holidays. I loved it. Later I went by train to Copenhagen each week-end. <br /><br />It's a long comment.! I've also gone by train in Norway. From Oslo to Trondheim. A beautiful panorama-tour. Norway is such a beautiful country. And from Århus to Vienna. "Night train to Vienna" (sounds like a movie!) I was in a sleeping-waggon. Don't go by a sleeping waggon ever! It's better to be in a coupé where you can move a little. And he locked the doors to the waggon. Terrible! <br />I was seasick when I arrived in Vienna! But else - I like to go by train!! `)Thyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06784021614587470421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613729047769383491.post-91228439596310998792011-12-19T21:36:35.319-06:002011-12-19T21:36:35.319-06:00Thank you, elizabeth.

A great song. I will check out your post. I've posted about them more than once and undoubtedly will again. I love trains, all their history and the stories they tell.

The only youtube video I've made is about steam trains. You can see it on my post called <a href="http://shoreacres.wordpress.com/2010/04/10/railroading-the-great-divide/" rel="nofollow">Railroading on the Great Divide</a>. I don't usually leave links, but this post tells a lot about the way my daddy and grandpa raised me up to be a train-lover. ;)<br /><br />We collected those postcard folders, too. Back in the day, people didn't take pictures the way we do today, and the postcards were a good way to take home some memories of what we'd seen on our trips.shoreacreshttp://shoreacres.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613729047769383491.post-29728090628828685662011-12-19T07:31:49.857-06:002011-12-19T07:31:49.857-06:00Montucky, when I was a child, I had a yearning to ...Montucky, when I was a child, I had a yearning to ride the rails myself.

They add something extra special to travel. I'm happy to hear that You and Gary still enjoy them, too.<br /><br /><br /><br />Rita, That sounds like one terrific memory. I can just see you there, riding through the night.... Thanks for telling me about that.<br /><br /><br /><br />Bob, I can imagine how you feel. Often parents don't know how we might feel about things later. A friend lost many Classics Illustrated comic books a similar way.

We came back that night way after dark, too. My favorite part of the whole trip was the train! While the other kids slept I watched out the darkened window and listened and rocked to the wheels. It was glorious!
