Who says German trains are clean and always on time has never really made a real trip with DB

@trainlover479 All I heard was "European trains are clean and efficient". I don't recall seeing anyone setting American and Canadian flags on fire and peeing on the ashes.

Nice. Thanks for the video. Trains are also great transportation during your travels, if you are looking for a more relaxed trip and not constricted by time.

Cheers, from Singapore

@mynameisdarthtater You can go from Raleigh to DC the problem is it is you would have to layover for 24 hours. They should have left the 5 am departure from Raleigh alone because at that time it connected with the DC Chicago train a lot better

Oh I know where I've seen this guy before, he randomly popped up in scenes and started talking about secret seats, great train tips and great car tips on Plane's, Train's, and Automobiles. Scared the crap out of me, but I guess I learned something that day.

I'm thinking of going on a train trip from Raliegh North Carolina all the way to Seattle sometime next summer. Problem: the nearest train that goes that far I can find starts in Harpers Ferry West Virginia. Damn.

For on time go to Japan. But even the best can't be perfect, snow storms, earth tremors, suicides and the occasional typhoon take their tolls. For never on time go to Italy and don't anybody give me the Il Duce quote it's bullshit.

actually sounds more like you quoted a travel agency naming one of its tours.

In his reference to the Rocky Mountaineer in Canada -- 15 days??? The Rocky M only operates in Alberta and BC, it does not even touch the Atlantic let alone that's its 3000 miles away. Via Rail operates from east to west. Better check your references bud.

To me a train ride is a cab ride in a 14,000 ton Coal train with DPU helpers mid train and end.Passenger trains are a glorified bus ride.
