[QUOTE]Originally posted by Midnight Sky: [QB] Hello everyone, I'm new to the board and I plan on taking a trip by train from Los Angeles to Boston and I wanted to know how safe it is to travel by train? Do derailments happen often? Any problems with them having to do with bridges or water? I looked at the trains I would be taking...Southwest Chief and Lake Shore Limited..by the way how are they? And well I was looking at pictures on different sites at the different scenery you would see and it kinda of worried me a little, when I saw how it looks like the train is on the edge of cliffs, like Raton Pass and then when it gets by water, like when the train crosses over the Mighty Mississippi River, over the bridge, is the bridge that scary or is it just me? It looks really close to the water and it holds the train?? Also when I was looking at Lake Shore Limited route, I saw how close it is to the water, once you get past Illinois.. how is that? As you can tell I have never been on a train this far and I'm going to visit my grandpi and I really want to take the train, as I am afraid to fly and I don't know I'm just really nervous about it [IMG]http://www.railforum.com/ubb/confused.gif[/IMG] [/QB][/QUOTE]
