Its been nearly 5 years I been in US but it was on 14th of April 2009 when I had my first train ride. I can say its been a fun ride.. but nothing is more fun than train ride in India. I felt a little bit like I was in India but there was no "chai chai.. kafee kafee... garam garam samosey" guys in the train..
I went to Baltimore a couple of days but I got a ticket to DC for cheaper rate. So I had to take train to Baltimore.. Actually I had to take 3 trains to go to Baltimore. While I was on train I felt something like I was in India. Ofcourse nothing is fun like in a 2nd class compartment in Indian trains but looking outside the window I felt.. "Ahaaaa!!! I miss Indian Railways".
There was ofcourse a Ticket Collector in the train with a hat and was funny. He shouted " All abroad" just before the train left the station.. Well that is something new for me.. The ticket was more like a filght boarding pass. It was a nice expirience for me to board a train in US.
i guess you need to go to the cafeteria to get your chai or kafee or burgers :P. Self Service
