Thanks Davin. Well, I don’t know where that came from. Just thoughts I had that I felt like throwing up there somewhere. Its funny, I had actually forgotten how much North-Americans are used to this whole “cars are everything” system. Trains have been such a way of life for me that it began to slip my mind, that it is actually not a native concept around here. No wonder! I suppose if every American spent a few years in a country with developed transportation lines, our old railways would be up and running again in no time, and expanding at that. Its odd to try to explain to a European that in the US, even the National Parks can’t be reached by regular train lines.

Hi Anna,

Those are some cool thoughts. I really didn’t know that about trains in other countries. How much more developed it was compared to the US and Canada.

I had some very cool cats over the years myself. Gotta love their independence.

Thanx for the interesting post Anna.

I understand. Cars have their benefits. However, using a car requires having a car, getting a license, etc. One has to either rent a car, pay a large price, or take on a monthly burden of a car loan.

In America where people are so dependent on cars this might seem normal. However in areas with developed transportation systems, it is not. Anyone at any age can travel wide and freely by train, with or without advanced planning and often at little expense, without the necessity of going to driving school, acquiring a license, or paying large expenses. Additionally there is the factor of pollution where the environmental impact caused by the use of cars can’t be compared to that of trains – particularly modern electric trains.

Its interesting to see how Americans have become so accustomed to a dependency on automobiles. It is one thing I hope to see changing in the future.

Very interesting thoughts, I also have two cats and sometimes I think they understood my every word and speak in their own special language. On the train I do not like to travel, prefer a car. But I like pizza, do not understand how people lived and did not know about pizza.
