I had some vacation time and I’ve never ridden a train before, so I thought I’d look it up. I’d seen a few YouTube videos and it looked like something I’d like. I’m not a fan of air travel at all.
I went to look up tickets and was shocked at the price. I could drive for cheaper and faster including my own stops. I could fly for cheaper and faster and wouldn’t have to pay for a sleeper car or hotel. It seems like there’s no benefit to taking a train at all. Even the hassle of flying is worth the time and money saved.
Ps and why does a sleeper car (the thing that had me curious from YouTube) $1000/night?!
There is another way… To ride the rails.
E: its not cocaine. I’m talking about jumping on the back of freight trains and riding. Thought I should clarify for you heathen’s. And to be sure, it will be a lot slower, you may not get to your destination at all but you will understand the meaning of: its about the journey, not the destination…
Got my harmonica and my bindle. Time to live the dream.
Who knew King Nohadon was a hobo. Explains how he made it to Urithiru
That is illegal, and the rail roads have had enough problems that they monitor for it. When they detect you the train will stop with the car you are in at the crossing the sherif is waiting at.
good luck.
Oh boy. U think Norfolk southern could line up a car with a sheriff crossing? Or were u talking about the cocaine?
