Can't imagine not being on a train. It goes zoom zoom toot toot and I love that

I was recently on a train for the first time in months, and I just had to put on Kraftwerk's "Trans Europe Express" with a big goofy grin. — Even though I've been on trains many times throughout my life, it just never stops being special to me.

I wish rail travel to and from where I am wasn't the absolute worst. I'm on a peninsula in the only city you can really call a city until you hit Montreal, which is about 12 hours by car although you'll spend 2 getting into the city because of infinite construction. The train, however, makes a stop in seemingly every single small town in all of New Brunswick and takes 30 damn hours. And it was $200, fuck via rail

Honestly it's the only time I took a passenger train. In the states I've generally been touring eith a band and therefore driving and otherwise I've gotten around by hitchhiking, I'm right in that zone between too scary for someone sketchy to pick up and not too scary for someone cool to pick up. If you're a socially inclined person, it's pretty fun and if you know how to depart your town reliably you're looking okay. For me the first bus in service in town is a 4am one to the airport, it gets you there at 4:30 which is absolutely perfect because it gives you a half hour to walk to the exit ramp cause trucks leave at 5, get one of those and sometimes your still getting 12 hours out of town.

Are you still on it?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I am now on a second train! Fuck yeah

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Updates please. Have you seen a conductor? The driver? Did you go through a tunnel?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I saw the driver and another driver swap. I don't think there are conductors.

I went through many tunnels and in fact got off and back on underground!

I am now on a return train
