Train. Without a doubt. But if I were planning a cross-country rail trip, I guess the first question to ask would be which country? As much as I love trains, here in the United States, a cross-country expedition by rail is quite an unpleasant proposition. For a nation that celebrates the completion of the transcontinental railroad as a pivotal achievement in unifying our country, we have a shamefully poor rail network.
I think I’d would quite enjoy a rail expedition across the Scandinavian countries, India or Canada. Specifically in India I would love to experience the The Maharajas’ Express luxury rail tour. Their website doesn’t really do it justice. Kara and Nate have an excellent series of videos documenting their seven day journey on India’s most luxurious train.
Is it really a cross country trip if you cross over the entire country in an airplane without ever seeing the actual country?
