> I never added up the rail miles ...  Santa Fe from Houston to Killeen, Wabash from St. Louis to Chicago, Southern from Atlanta to Washington three times, Pennsy from Chicago to New York including multiple times from Pittsburgh to New York, New Haven from New York to Boston and Hartford to New Haven.   South Shore and North Shore from end to end.  B&O from Parkersburg to Wheeling to Pittsburgh.   Georgia Railroad from Atlanta to Augusta.   Probably not much over 5000 miles?

Really?? I've got at least 20k rail miles in the US under my belt not
even counting commuter or Pennsylvanian, probably more. and I've got 3
more years to hit 40 yet.

Pittsburgh to the west coast is 5k round trip, 3 of those; 2 more to
San Antonio; probably 8 to Boston, once to Atlanta, once to New
Orleans...

Europe for me is far less; Italian intercity, Munich to Graz and back,
across southern Sweden once, Edinburgh to London once. Guess I should
see what the bride-to-be and I are going to do in the Czech Republic
soon. Or at least think about it.
