Hello I’m Charles Kitchton, a Javascript and web developer based in Las Vegas, NV. Over the years, I have traveled quite a bit by rail. Since taking my first train trip as a child, I’ve since had a fascination with railroads. Rail travel remains my favorite mode of transportation since I can see things I would not be able to from a car or plane. Besides, by taking trains, I’m doing my part to help save the planet. Rail travel is considered the greenest and most efficient of mass transportation.
Tn the United States, Amtrak serves as the nation rail system. There are many other local commuter and light rail systems as well. Unfortunately, Amtrak trains currently do not serve Las Vegas. An Amtrak shuttle is runs between Las Vegas’ South Strip bus terminal at 9:40AM to Bakersfield, CA. In Bakersfield, I get on Amtrak’s San Joaquins. I’ve traveled on a number of Amtrak routes in the US and its time to explore some of the other rail systems around the globe. Stay tuned….
