How many of you have trains by you you can ride? Just curious.

Saturday me, my girl, and another couple are going to get on a train that is ran for a maple festival. We are taking the train for a 50 min ride to a town 18 miles away or so to go to a maple festival for a few hours. Then ride the train back.

Should be interesting. We don't have trains to ride here so its a unique experience to us.

I'll snap a few pictures and post them for the heck of it (from somewhere, no net at the new cottage till I get into the house I bought)

I have rode a train from Syracuse to nyc. that was a long 6 hour train ride. that night in bed it felt like i was still moving. I also have been on the Adirondack scenic rail road which was fun becuase of the scenery.

The Amtrak is about the same distance from me as it is from Matt.

My wife and I rode trains a lot while visiting a friend in Chicago.

I've always wanted to ride one of these:
