Travel Blog Carnival: Tracks

For decades, budget travelers have known that catching a train can save money and bring efficiency to an intinerary. Beyond the practical aspects of train travel, there's something about climbing aboard and watching the countryside spread before your eyes. Susan Breslow Sardone, About.com Guide to Honeymoons/Romantic Travel, has assembled "Tracks:" A Train Travel Blog Carnival. Susan has gathered great content from across About.com's Travel Channel.
