I know that trains aren't always an option, especially in America. But if you can some train journeys can be really beautiful, especially across Europe and it's a much slower way of seeing places.

Trains also become a non-starter if there's a significant body of water such as an ocean between you and your desired travel destination.

People are literally saying "if it is an option". We know you can't take a train over the ocean.
