nurktwin 2,143 Report post Posted July 20, 2012 Sure have. I think the 1st time was in 3rd grade when you could get to school early and stay late and hold flags out to stop cars at the crossing to let the kids walk across the street to school. Each year, they would then take the crossing guards on a train trip from Youngstown to Cleveland and treat them to a baseball game between the Cleveland Indians and the New York Yankees. Years later I remember taking a train many times from NYC to CT to visit my aunt and uncle and cousins. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SingsInFrench 262 Report post Posted July 20, 2012 Only a ride, not a real trip. Also, I went on a haunted train ride at Halloween. That was fun and scary. The train took us to a haunted house. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magnolia 171 Report post Posted July 21, 2012 I use the train a lot, especially around southern California. Also, there's a local train, the Coaster, that I like to use if I'm going down to San Diego. I love riding the train! I'd love to ride it across the country. Also used the train often when I've been to Europe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Echosoftom 3 Report post Posted July 21, 2012 I know what you mean Barb. A few months ago I took the train to Santa Maria. I had a blast talking to people and just enjoying the view. Nel, from Chicago to Seattle. Wow! I'm sure you saw lots of great scenery. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weird monkey 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2012 Wow, I'd love to be able to take the train down to San Diego. This country really missed the boat (so to speak) when it decided to rely on cars instead of public transportation. When I lived in Europe, I took trains everywhere, of course. I took the Grand Canyon train once, which was a lot of fun. I love to travel more by train if it was possible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amber 70 Report post Posted July 21, 2012 I rode the train to Winter Park Ski Park in Denver a few years ago. It was really cool to watch the snowy trees pass by. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
