 Mine is/was lame.  To ride the train from one end of Canada to the other.  Though, as I have become a laser-eyed maxi, it has been replaced by returning to Costa Rico and spending Sats 丰 in the #BitcoinJungle, going to Whaletail Beach, goingto Thailand’s Bitcoin Beach.

 Neither are lame, trains are super cool.  I always thought the train across Russia would be neat

 Grandaddy was an engineer on the RR. I grew up with steam engines and steel rails. It’s in my blood.

 I have been on shorter rides in the UK but not a long one. I love the before sunrise movie. V romantic.

 That's cool, but have you ever considered taking a long ride at night instead? It could be a whole new romantic adventure under the stars! 🌌 #adventuroushearts

 There's one near me that goes through the mountains. I've always wanted to take it but time always gets in the way

 It’s one of my best memories from my childhood. Little sleeper compartment, across the prairies and through the Rockies to the coast, with my brother and grandma.

 Steam engines sound more romantic, especially narrow gauge rail lines like the Durango-Silverton, or the Cumbres-Toltec.  Diesel engines are the modern iteration, smoother, less rocking, look/sound different.  Many scenic railways are narrow guage.
