re: #71 klys (maker of Silmarils)
Ooo, the one up in the Canadian Rockies. I was more interested in it before I found out it’s not an overnight train, but we will still probably do that at some point.
We like riding trains. If you also do, this website is a fantastic resource. The Trans-Siberian Route is on the list at some point - we actually want to try to pull off an around-the-world trip without planes (and not by cheating and just booking an around-the-world cruise, although we may cave and do a leg of that for the Pacific transit).
You can get around the world without a plane or ship, if you’re a whacked Australian with an army surplus jeep.
