When I take trains in Europe, I tend to look out the window, and they often have nice views.
When I take trains in the USA, I usually look out for a few seconds every couple of minutes, because it's mostly the same -- lower-middle class housing or warehouses if we're in a city, or ugly terrain outside of a city.

- samatman 2y agoHaving ridden both routes, the Amtrak from Denver to Reno has a spectacularly better view than the Eurostar from London to Brussels. The food is also better. These kinds of broad comparisons are utterly useless. Continents are much too large for that kind of thing to be anything resembling accurate.
- Arrath 2y agoI have to say, taking the night train from Moscow to St Petersburg was eye opening. I went from modern metropolis of skyscrapers and tower cranes to run down rusty industrial facilities that wouldn't look out of place in a STALKER game to sod roofed villages that look as they might have when Napoleon was making an ill fated expedition. Then of course a vast expanse of nothing at all.
