What to Pack for the Rail Trip

 

Some peopel think that a long

rail trip is no different than

being at home. 

 

For me I find that that is not

the case.

Most things are like being at

home. 

 

The food can be great, and

the company and companionship

can be great.

 

You might want to bring along some

reading for those times that you have

seen just about as much great scenery

as you can take, or if it is too dark

to see anything.

 

A couple other things I would bring

are with regard to personal products.

Some chapstick would be good if

you are bothered by dry air.  the

same goes for skin lotion.  These

are two things I would not forget.

While it’s true you can live without

them, having them will make your

trip more pleasant.

 

Some people think Dramamine for motion

sickness on the train is a good idea.

Personally, this has never been an issue

for me.  It is my belief that the vast

majority of people will not need this,

but you can bring it if you are concerned

about the issue of motion sickness.
