  YOUR USUAL VACATION consists of going somewhere to see trains, maybe even ride them. Last year you chased the freight trains of the Kansas, Nebraska & Northwestern across the plains, staying at motels next to the tracks and eating your meals in Frank ‘n’ Float restaurants. After that experience - maybe even during it — your wife said she would sue for divorce before she went on another railfan vacation, and she was positive every judge in the country would take her side. This year the vacation is her choice: Europe.

Or maybe she’s going to Europe on business and taking you along on a frequent flier companion ticket. You’ll have days at your disposal while she’s in meetings, but you’re not inclined to spend them in cathedrals and museums. You’d really rather see and ride trains, but what, where, and when?

That’s the nub of your reluctance. You know which Amtrak trains offer scenic rides and where to photograph Union Pacific freights. But Europe? This book will be of some help, not only in the stations and on the trains but also in hotels and restaurants.
