They can gussy it up all they want these days with better food and pretty decoration, but it's still a night train and still miserable. Pace the "Man in Seat 61," but that's why people fly. And, yeah, I actually did make it from London to Istanbul.
Thank you FallenPlat, and for the reality check on train travel. Your description is pretty much why Mrs. SFO777 is not very excited about embracing my train fantasies.

Thanks seat38a. We were on that stretch of I-15 early evening on Thursday, May 27th.

Thanks very much WolfieG and for your kind comments. We're settling in nicely here in Denver and have almost unpacked everything.
