I happen to love trains, so nearly all of my travel has been biased toward places with decent transit systems to ride and learn about. Coincidentally, because I like to take photos of trains, you can imagine that I lug around my DSLR with me to take as many photos as I can. As I've aged, I'm trying to avoid making every trip about riding every train possible, and more about seeing landmarks and museums as well as riding trains. Mind you, I've had a few friends ask me to come to places without trains, but I'm not ready yet to spend scarce money on places without trains...
