I'm quite a fan of traveling by train, and wanted to solicit advice and suggestions on train travel - in particular, if you'd been on a train journey where the train ride itself was remarkable or quite memorable because of the scenery, the places it passed by and through, and so on. Even little tips and tricks would be appreciated! Best views on the right side of the train when traveling northbound, for instance?
I'm not necessarily even talking about grand train adventures a la Orient Express or anything. One of the things I like about getting from point A to point B via train is the train ride itself can be as fascinating and fun as anything else - the journey being as worthwhile as the destination. Info on any and all parts of Europe would be appreciated!
