As a result of my trip on the Empire Builder, I have come to believe that trains facilitate your ability to be a "real traveler" because you can meet a variety of people, learn about their lives, discuss their ideas, and really see the country. This trip has inspired me to take more long haul train journeys with the goal of seeing the entire country by rail as long as I have the time and money to do so. Trains take a little longer than other modes of transportation but the experience they provide enriches you even before you arrive at your destination and savor each passing mile. Go Amtrak!
