@RusA #9858726 And my most amazing experience train was...one day my boss told me to go to other city near Jakarta, it was a bank invitation. First i didn't know nothing about it, the meeting point was at the train station. Turn out we went to other city by train, and it was a presidential train which have sofa seat, big tv, and the toilet so big and clean, which also has a shower in it
I like train travel, too. When I take the train to visit my relatives in Missouri, I take the Lake Shore Limited from NYC to Chicago, and then I have a 24-hour layover in Chicago, during which I can travel around the city as much as I want on their intercity light rail system. Then I take a train from Chicago, through St. Louis, and I get off in Jefferson City, Missouri, which is about in the middle of the state. (The train, called the Ann Rutledge, goes on to its terminal point in Kansas City) From there, either I rent a car or my family picks me up.
We have lots of local trains here in the Northeast, including a new light rail system that runs several times a day between Springfield, Massachusetts and New Haven, Connecticut, with several convenient stops along the way. I usually drive myself around the state, or take the bus if I visit NYC or Boston, because it's easier to catch a bus than to catch the Amtrak train that runs along the shoreline between the two cities, but I'd really like to try out the light rail next time I go to New Haven.
We used to have luxury train cars like what you describe, back in the days when rich people traveled by train. Now they travel in fancy cars or private jets, leaving train travel to us poor people. Amtrak trains are comfortable, but nothing fancy.
In Hongkong, i also use the "MTR", my friend said that i can use the MRT card in Singapore for the " MTR" in Hongkong, but i didn't bring that card, so i must to buy the new one And in Japan, they have JR pass for tourist, but u only can buy it outside Japan, for the Shinkansen train, only limited for city to city near Tokyo like Osaka, Toyama, Kyoto, Yokohama, and my card only for 7 days, but i also try their local train, aiport train, and monorail.
Amtrak used to have something called the US Railpass, where you'd buy a card and use it for unlimited train travel around the country. Those aren't available anymore, but you can get Multi-Ride tickets with 6 rides, 10 rides, or monthly pass with two rides per day. Those are mostly meant for commuters, like Joe Biden who until recently took an Amtrak train from his home in Delaware to his workplace in Washington DC.
We've been working on developing monorail systems here in the U.S. since the 1950s, but for some reason, almost nobody except Disney Company has ever been able to make them practical. I've been to the Bronx Zoo in NYC, and they have a monorail system there, which is the only one I've ever actually been on. Mostly what we have in the U.S. are in amusement parks and a few airports. These days, the idea of large monorail systems is looked at with a bit of humor, the same way we look at the old ideas of flying cars and personal jetpacks.
