The Montrealer was a passenger train operated by Amtrak between Washington, D.C. and Montreal, Canada. Amtrak had a promotion in the fall of 1977 that included accommodations in a beautiful hotel. The name of the hotel escapes me. It was $99 per person for a long weekend and we had a wonderful time.

That's easy! My dad worked for PRR. Lived in a railroad house as a child. The Media local and the Chester Wilmington local were our mode of travel! Fun!

When I was in 6th grade we rode the "City of San Francisco" domeliner round trip from Chicago. I have great memories of the dining car service, sipping cokes in the lounge car, and seeing the beautiful scenery from the dome cars. I have been hooked on trains ever since.

From Paris to Le Havre France in 1955. Not high speed but still comfortable and scenic. Worst was the Auto train from Lawton VA to Sanford FL. Compartment was too small, sleeping was next to impossible in upper berth (more like a closed MRI) and need to move to another car to use rest room was a challenge. Movie in club car was an old Disney movie that played over and over. They said you close your eyes and wake up in Fl. Did not find that to be the case. Was a long sleepless night with several stops for who knows what reason. It was 17 years ago so, maybe the service has improved, but it sure was not high speed rail service back then.

1967: Riding an all night train from Kankakee, Ill to Ft. Campbell, KY where my husband had a 24 hr. leave from basic training. Didn't sleep, made some friends, and can still hear the clickety-clack. It was a brave move for a small-town girl who had never been on a train.

1997. Rails to the Rim. Steam train from Williams, AZ to the Grand Canyon and back. Complete with train robbery on the way out.

Two years ago we took a cruise that landed in Venice. Over 8 days we took 2 faster trains from Venice to Florence and Florence to Rome. Now I wish it was over 32 days.

Ok it's a toss up. The night train from Venice, Italy to Nice, France. Left Venice late at night in the dark and woke up and looked out the cabin window at the gorgeous French Riviera coastline. Just Beautiful. OR the Chunnel from London to Paris (my favorite city in the whole world). Having breakfast served to us while 250 ft. under the English Channel for approx. 23.5 miles. Both trips my hubby and I will always remember with smiles on our faces.

All time favorite. Simply Breathtaking.

The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge RR in Colorado
