We love to travel by train when we have the opportunity which unfortunately hasn't been often. Living in the Houston area a car is a "must" in most areas. Maybe we should plan a trip on Amtrak.

However, when we were in Europe we traveled from Zurich (Zurich has great public transportation) to Lugano by train (a breath-taking experience) and from London to Bath via train and took a train from Gatwick (Gatwick Express?) to Victoria Station. I don't think the tube counts as traveling by train .

As a child in Chicago I took trains all over the place though!
