W: How was your trip to New York?

M: It was fun! I took the train there.

W: I didn’t know that a train went from Los Angeles to New York.

M: Well, it doesn’t go there directly. First, I took a train north from Southern California to Seattle. Washington. Then I transferred to another train. This one went across the northern part of the country, from Seattle all the way to Chicago, Illinois.

W: How long did that part of the trip take?

M: 45 hours.

W: Then how long did it take to get from Chicago to New York?

M: Another 20 hours. This time, I had a window seat, and the view was amazing! I stayed up just to look. By the time I arrived in New York, I was exhausted.

W: Would you recommend traveling that way?

M: I think it’s great way to see the country. Trains often travel near the coast or through other beautiful areas. But I wouldn’t recommend it to someone who wants to save time. The whole trip took more than three days!
