Years ago, a trip across country probably would have been by train, much simpler and a lot more comfortable than a car trip. Someone else would take care of the driving, and the train kept going all night long, no overnight motel stays while the car driver rested up for another day on the road.
Of course, it wasn't free, and you'd have to buy a train ticket somewhere...
Here is a picture of a train station's ticket counter, taken in a much larger than usual train station, the old Union Pacific Train Depot in Omaha, Nebraska.
Now operating as the Durham Western Heritage Museum, this place should be especially interesting for the train buff.
