Riassunto

This book is for those people who love trains, who have a "Romance of the Rails". It was a dream come true for the author after his car broke down and he found himself stranded in New York City. He was able to get an Amtrak ticket on a double deck "Superliner". The journey begins there - a remarkable 2 1/2 day cross country scenic journey through Americas Heartland. And a great opportunity to remove himself from the distractions of life in order to to take a 'transformative" journey inward! A remarkable tale of personal transformation! The love of trains shows up in the following ways: A chapter on famous train poems, a chapter on the life changing freedom's that million's of Hoboes have experienced in past generations, a salute to the "Canadian Pacific Holiday Train" that travels in the US and Canada collecting food and money to provide meals for disadvantaged families (especially in these difficult times), a chapter on the most beautiful train journeys in the world, a chapter on the most luxurious train excursions in the world, a chapter on the most exquisite train stations in the world, a chapter on the fastest trains in the world (over 300 MPH), trains vs planes and aa comparison of plane vs train travel. ALL ABOARD!
