First, I apologize if this isn't against the rules, but I thought the best way to do this would be to post one thread, and then post each trip as a separate response. I took a few trips during the pandemic, and because of the obvious difficulties, they were pretty short trips.
I have a YouTube playlist of different places I visit:
But most of those videos are very local trips, some just me walking around my neighborhood. Some of them focus on my attempts to complete a foot journey from Portland to Eugene, sometimes by transit, but sometimes by bicycle. Hopefully, with things returning to "normal", there will be more long distance rail trips.
Also, I am not sure what "rail involvement" means. Especially during the pandemic, with decreased schedules, I used Amtrak Thruways. So some of these trips involve using Amtrak, but not rail---or, when I go to Portland, using rail, but not Amtrak. But luckily, on a few of them, I actually get to ride an Amtrak train!
A lot of my interest here is the "last mile" problem. Sometimes even when travelling to cities with Amtrak rail connections, I had to use multiple different transit methods to get there.
