I'm turning 39 this year. In the 1990s my immediate family would travel from MA to MI via Amtrak to visit grandparents. Travel time in each direction was measured in days. Later on we "upgraded" to planes which reduced travel time to hours within one day. I miss the trains. Nostalgia aside, diner car and all, I crave the rumble-tumble and the scenery and the idea of "cross country". Tunnels. Every day I commute into and out of work, I witness a random toddler jumping up and down or waving or waddle-running along the train because train. I have an anniversary coming up in a few months. I and my partner are interested in celebrating by train.
