Hear hear -- love trains! You can stretch out and walk about; you're not stuck driving in the car, crammed in like a sardine on a plane, or subject to the schedule and comfort whims of the bus.

I developed a serious crush on the Japanese rail system while I was there on exchange. Over the course of a year, I swear that I could have counted on one hand the number of times a train was more than a minute late. Every little hamlet seems to have a train station, and from there you can get practically anywhere in the country, even if the first leg of your trip will be on a smoke-belching diesel burner from the 1950s. =)
