I have ridden a train from Amsterdam to Groningen a few times. I am hoping this is different. Actually, I am sure it will be. I think that was more of a commuter line.

I am sure he would, but I have a hot air balloon festival I want to shoot in IN, so don't have time for layovers.

She rides that train every few months and this is the first real problem beside the train having to stop for a grass fire.

That is good to hear. To be honest, as long as I can get off the train with my dog and my camera, I would be okay with a stop in the middle of nowhere. Being stuck on the train may not be an issue for me since I have the dog. Keeping fingers crossed.

I imagine the eastern seaboard would not be as interesting as the southwest. There will be some flatland too, but is is not like I have not traveled over it numerous times. I need to see if I can bring a couple of bottles of good wine with me.
I will reserve my judgment between US and Euro rails though. Pretty sure this is going to be a better experience. Why did you like the Euro rails?
