How nice if we had a train that could take us all over the States, Just hop on go someplace, see more of America without a plane or a car. I love the train. Next week I will take Amtrak (our only train) from Jacksonville Florida to New York City. After Katrina we no longer have a train that goes West. I would love a train that would take us to more National Parks. I wont see it in my lifetime, maybe in the future after I am long gone.
