My grandfather was a railroad man, and he took us on a short run once, when I was a kid. It was a freight, not a passenger train, and we rode in the caboose. Exciting for a kid! Now that I live in Denver with easy access to Amtrak, we have talked about doing a train trip. Unfortunately, we haven't gotten around to it, yet.
