134.365

Train travel. Have any of you ever done it? We decided to take the Amtrak to Boston. The train was one-third the cost of plane tickets and it sounded like fun.

There are no trains in central Ohio so we had to leave from another city. We chose Pittsburgh since it's only a 3 hour drive. Once we got on the train, it was a 6 hour ride to Philadelphia, then another 6-7 hour ride to Boston. I tried to take pictures of the stations along the way, but the trains were crowded on the way out and the boy was sleeping on the way back so I only managed to capture a couple.

I am sure it sounds crazy to pay for train tickets for that long of a trip instead of driving, but there are some definite advantages. More about that in another post.

    Great pictures. I love train travel. It is good to be able to sit back and let someone else do the driving. Where those stations in Penn.?

    I love to travel by train! I used to take the train from Fresno, CA to San Francisco every other weekend to see my mom. It was a 5 hour ride over a 3 hour drive but i loved it.

    Holli, I'm glad you said that. I think I'd take train travel over driving too. You can relax and read or work on your computer while going over the same distance.
