Personally I think trains are exciting and romantic. I must          that trains are not important means of transportation in the US, but I do have some         with them.
When I was a child, growing up in a small town with very little        , we used to go to the station to watch the passenger trains coming in. There was something          about the steaming, roaring string of cars coming into view around the mountains, slowly growing larger and           and finally        crowds of strangers onto the platform.
I took my         train trip when I was ten years old. I went with my elder sister to visit our cousins six hundred miles away. The train--so loud and violent on the outside—was       and rocking inside. We were very excited, and as that was also our first time away from our parents, we felt somewhat frightened too. However, because I had         so much, I was a little disappointed when I was finally one of the passengers I had        for so long.
As a college student, I       ride overnight train to my roommate’s hometown. We could never afford a       , so we played cards, sang, ate, read and talked        we finally fell uncomfortably asleep in the straight-backed seats.
My idea that trains are        may come from the fact that my husband and I took the train on our honeymoon, spending extra money to eat in the dining car, and         the window as the desert scenery slid past.
Now, when I make a trip, I always fly or drive, and        are not a very important part of my life.           , every time I hear the train whistle faraway on a quiet night, I can always feel the           in my heart to pack my bags and jump on board, entering a       world of motions, sounds, sights, and experience which just aren’t         in the dull environment of an airplane.
