Scale on a Rail Trip
"Scale on a rail trip is what’s most arresting. We live so much of our lives close-up—scrolling through phones, watching our type appear on computer screens, scrutinizing papers, preparing meals, cleaning our homes room by room. Very few elements of our day-to-day tasks remain out of arms’ reach.

“An extended train ride affords a chance not just to see a horizon but also to soak it up. To luxuriate in the far-off for uninterrupted hours. To exist, briefly, in the uncharted sections of the cellphone-coverage map." — Caity Weaver; The New York Times Magazine—There is No Reason to Cross the U.S. by Train. But I Did it Anyway.
