My holiday in the US included spending time with friends and family after my package tour. Having covered important sights I wanted a local experience and that I got through help from family and friends.
I went with them visiting their usual haunts – their fish market, local stores, library, school and even some banks They all have cars which is common in the US unlike India. I wanted a train experience and a niece obliged me by taking me to a Broadway show travelling by train from New Jersey to New York. What I truly liked about the train was one did not have to climb into the train but just walk into it from the plat form unlike the trains in India where we literally have to climb.
The seating arrangement inside the train was also different and most important, the train was not crowded. It was indeed a smooth ride.

I love the train, don’t really like buses.
We have an electric train in Onehunga that you can just walk into.
Most trains here run on electricity but climbing is still there.
Train travel is always interesting
Local trains in India are always crowded.
I have boarded train less than five times in life. I always see trains overcrowded to the top and sideways in India. It’s very dangerous.
How does the train conductor receive fare from the passengers when it’s very crowded?
I have never enjoyed train travel in India Ticket are bought at the counter.
Enjoy your tour in America.I’m glad that you are able to take this trip. For how long will you be in the US?
This was a long time ago Just reliving that happy memory
I haven’t taken the train in a very long time … but it’s a kind of adventure
I enjoyed that experience very much
I love traveling by train. I always find new friends.
It is not so comfortable travelling by train in India
