I love trains, and I would prefer traveling by train to a destination if I were given a choice, especially during those times that I need to arrive at a city that takes a few hours to get to. Because of this, I've had several experiences when it comes to traveling by train, throughout different seasons and hours.

For example, have you ever tried standing next to the sliding door of an old train during a snowstorm and while in transit?

Traveling in an old train feels like it will explode and just fall apart at any given time. The snow starts to look like electricity passing from the top to the bottom part of the window of a black screen.

It only looks like this on a small window, of course, and only by the area near the window of the door, nowhere else.

The view is different on the other areas of the train, yes.

I would also be able to ride on modern trains, where the chairs are more spacious and relaxing, you could even charge your mobile phone and laptops via sockets under the tables or seats.

I usually ride the train a little after 6:30 am. The irony is that I do, sometimes, get a good seat, try to sleep, and actually succeed in doing so, but I never thought anybody would be so alive and talking out loud right before 7am.

Boy, was I wrong. There goes my sleep.
