I recently hopped on a 11 hour time machine (er, train) from Union Station to Oakland where the sights were majestic and life was undoubtedly slow-paced. I admit, I did fall asleep for a couple hours, but even so, the train jolts woke me up enough times to quickly snap scenery before falling asleep again.
Unlike planes, where hardly anyone talks to anyone else, the train is a very social place. At dinner time, we opted to eat in the Dining Car where a couple joined us at our booth. They had just gotten on the train in Salinas and were on their way home to Eugene, Oregon.
For those who haven't experienced a train ride, I recommend taking the Amtrak on one of their long routes.
