Most of my train trips are for personal travel, but some are for business. Sometimes I take the train just because I want to - but there are cases when it is the most practical solution:
1. When I’m taking my bike.
2. When I’m bringing a lot of demo equipment - but I don’t want to drive.
3. When I’m taking business trips to out of the way cities like Williston or Fargo ND, and I want to work on the way instead of spending a full day in airports or staring at a windshield.
4. When the trip is about the journey rather than the destination.
5. When I’m traveling to downtown destinations versus the suburbs and I don’t want to rent a car.
6. When I’m traveling in the east, parts of California or the Pacific Northwest and the trains are a much better option than flying or driving.
Of course, there are lots of situations where it just isn’t practical - so then I’ll fly or drive - or maybe take the train one way and fly home (or vice-versa).
