I often get asked what other countries have that the U.S. doesn’t. My answer is always the same: a more comprehensive train system.
I love trains.
From the sleek bullet trains of Japan to the impossibly comfortable
cars on Austria’s first-class cars to the ultimate luxury journey on
rails, the Blue Train in South Africa, some of my most memorable travel
experiences have taken place on trains, and watching the countryside
roll by from the comfort of my seat is one of my favorite ways to relax
while traveling.Now, what does that have to do with America?
