Good question. Why do you train? My goal is to improve the remaining assets that I possess and mitigate the growing deficiencies that occur with injury and aging. Life is all about the contingency plan even after the dirt nap.
That statement could go downhill fast I think...... I took a passenger train here in Maine with my parents once. I was hung over. Damn trains rock and wobble. It was horrible.
Wendy and I are headed to Durango Colorado to ride a train this month. I'll let you know if I like trains after we get back.
That's a long way for a train ride. Surely you two could just hop a freight train for a few miles to test it out.
This one has a glass ceiling and winds through the Rockies. Also planning to climb a couple of 14ers while there so the foothills in Alabama don't have that.
Is it a narrow gauge train? I remember hearing someone talk about a narrow gauge that works up through the mountains in CO but can't remember where it was at.
