@ossobuco,
The railroad is a fun way to travel. When my wife and I did the trans-Canada from Montreal to Vancouver, it was a great way to see the country while being able to relax to enjoy the changing scenery. Those dome cars are great.
Many years ago my brother and his wife, and me and my wife, did the railroad from Fairbanks to Anchorage with a layover at Denali National park. They also had dome cars on that trip. I like the trains in Japan and Europe where the trains travel at 200mph. zip.
