Hi, @Trainman_Man200 @cowgirl7094. 👋
I moved your posts from the Introduce Yourself thread over to an individual thread dedicated to trains 🚆.
Traveling by train is by far my favorite mode of transportation. It's peaceful, scenic, and perfect for thinking or just vibing with music. During college, I used to go back and forth between New York, Philly, Baltimore, and DC by train pretty frequently.
Here are some fun facts about trains:
The Transcontinental Railroad in the U.S. was completed in 1869, connecting the East and West coasts.
The Orient Express was a luxury train service known for glamorous European travel (and mystery novels!).
Trains are featured in iconic films like Snowpiercer, Murder on the Orient Express, and Unstoppable.
The longest passenger train ever recorded had 100 cars, stretching over a mile.
One ride on my bucket list is the Bernina Express, which connects Switzerland and Italy. It winds through the Alps, crosses viaducts, and offers views that look straight out of a postcard. 🤩
