Thanks for posting this, alot of cool info to look into for possible trips. My wife loves riding trains and when we are finally united we plan to do a trip on a train, I always wanted to explore scenic train routes. Mexico through copper Mountain route is pretty amazing and the Silverton Railroad in Durango Co is another.
My grandfather from Minnesota worked on the train between Minneapolis to Wisconsin. I have that module. I bought it all on Steam. There are lots of videos from it on Youtube also.
You are right about that. Going on a trip on a train always brings about excitement and a sense of adventure. Nothing like being able to see and experience unknown landscapes that gets etched into memories like an impressionist painting is indescribable. All the way from the stations we wait in to the destinations we arrive at, trains deliver something unique that a airplane can not. A memorable lived experience.
