A train, not a plane?

It takes a couple of minutes under three hours to fly from LA to Vancouver. Not counting having to be at the airport two to three hours before take-off, for security etcetera. Not counting the pile-up at the carousel and getting back and forth to the airport - usually far away.

It takes nearly ten times as long to make that journey by train.

Why would anyone choose to go by train?

This blog is for people who are wondering that, somehow feeling tempted.

It's about one particular journey and one particular train: The Coast Starlight. LA to Seattle (that's its entire route) July 4-5, 2010.
