10. Riding the train is an adventure and kids love it!
9. Complete strangers wave at you when the train goes by.
8. You can see countryside which is inaccessible by other modes of transportation.
7. There is no fear of plummeting to earth from 30, 000 feet (That one is for my sister-she doesn’t fly).
6. Parents don’t have to take turns driving.
5. Eating in the Dining Car is fun!
4. Families can spend quality time together playing board games and talking to one another.
3. There is electricity on board for electronic devices when families get tired of talking to one another.
2. When you book a sleeping car, your steward has free coffee brewing all. day. long. How cool is that?!
