Letter to the Editor: You can still get there by train

While plane travel is restricted, you can still get there by train.

Before 1950, before airplane travel, trains were a great way to go. They started downtown, not from way out in the country.

Great views of the country going by. Big comfortable seats and leg room.

Walk to a dining room for a well-cooked meal, not unmoving and cramped instant dinners.

It took four hours to go from New York to Washington, before Union Station, D.C., was messed up. Well, it took three comfortable days to get from New York to San Francisco.

Don’t be shy. You can get there without air traffic controllers.
