Tips for Traveling by Train
With ever increasing air travel frustrations and higher fuel price, train travel may be the alternative travelers are looking for. Trains offer a relaxed vacation environment and add the romance of traveling by train.
Here are a few tips to consider when traveling by train.
· Consider taking the train on long trips when you have kids in tow; it can be much more relaxing than driving and a better opportunity to spend quality time talking or playing cards.
- Plan any train trip ahead of time; prices rise as departure dates near, and deluxe cabins sell out quickly.
- Make sure you know what time meals are served in the dining car, and arrive early to get a spot. You’ll most likely share a table with other passengers. If you don’t feel like being social or are a picky eater, pack your own food.
- Do not lose your ticket — some rails will wait to collect them well after you board.
