#this breaks my heart for real#i spent a long time trying to plan a fun train trip home from la but there’s truly so few train lines and you’re super limited in where you#can go. and its not cheap either!! but the part i did end up riding the train for— la to chicago— was staraight up magical 100000 times bett#better than a bus. faster obv and with bathrooms and legroom and views of places that aren’t just the highway….#if i was dictator of america i would replace the highways with trains. they would kill me in the coup but it would be worth it
