A Cross-Country Trip, The Rail Is The Way

Daily writing prompt
You’re going on a cross-country trip. Airplane, train, bus, car, or bike?

I believe the most comfortable way to travel is by train. You have conveniences such as spacious washrooms, food/beverages, comfortable seats and some terrific views along the way. We have traveled in Canada by the VIA Rail system. I can say that the two times we have gone from Windsor to Toronto have been easier than if we went by bus. We did use the GO Rail system to travel to Niagara Falls from Toronto. We did take the bus on our last trip from Chattanooga to Detroit, and that was an adventure I recommend to anyone. So I am going to say trains if you have time to get from place to place.

North Pole Limited Train Excursion

Tonight we went on an imaginary journey to the north pole from the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum. It was a fun trip that made us remember the times when we heard stories of Santa and Mrs. Claus. We enjoyed a voyage like that of “The Polar Express” except we didn’t encounter many caribou. During the trip they gave us a snack and a jingle bell. This is a great holiday attraction that is right here in Chattanooga, Tennessee that families of all types can enjoy. Christmas is better when you do things like this.

Today is also the Feast Day of St. Nicholas so this fun event was very appropriate.
