Hello all! Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Ben and I'm from Seattle. I've had a fascination with trains ever since I was a teenager when I went to the model railroad show at the Pacific Science Center. My first experience riding the rails was a trip between SEA and PDX before the Cascades went into service. Ever since then I have taken a few short distance trips either to Seattle or Vancouver on the Cascades. I work for an airline, but still haven't lost my passion for trains. I'm planning to use my flight benefits in conjunction with riding the rails to see more of the US. At the end of March, I'll be taking my first long distance train(s) from Flagstaff to Portland, and I absolutely cannot wait!!
