I wonder:


1) Do you have a train station nearby?


2) How often do you take the train?


3) Where have you taken a train to ?

There is no train station here nearby in Turkey where I am ......


By my home in Germany, there is a tram and it's around the corner from where I live.... I take it often, maybe 3 times a week to the city.... which is a 15 minute ride to the subway and then 5 minutes by subway.... very convenient....

Ah! You went to Steamtown. How was it? Have you ever taken the coal train ride into the mine? I'd like to do that.


Our local train station is about 2 miles away. Over the years, I've taken it a few times to Philly. If I take this 2-day puter course next month, I'll take the train to Philly. When I fly, I take the train to Philly, then the city train to the airport. Much more convenient than the distant Baltimore airport, & much cheaper than Harrisburg.


The last time I rode the train was in September, when I was taking the bus to work. I missed the bus home 2 days in a row, & one of those days somebody gave me a ride to the train station in the town where I work, & I took it home. Then walked to my city bus stop & took the city bus the rest of the way.


I love trains. My dad worked for the RR, so we could ride for free. Once when I was little, he & I took a Pullman (sleeper) car to Chicago. Way cool! :o) I'm still considering taking a train vacation, either across Canada, or across US, or in Alaska.

As I write this I can hear a train.LOL
1) Do you have a train station nearby?
No

2) How often do you take the train?
I don't take a train anymore.

3) Where have you taken a train to ?
When I was a child we didn't have a car.
We would take the train to Mt Vernon and Fairfield IL.
It was the old steam engine. Boy! That makes me fell old. LOL

I would love to take a trip on a train thru the West.
To see The Great Tetons, Old Faithful and other places.
