Welcome! I hope you'll find this a good pace to exchange information. I am sure you have some valuable experiences to offer, and we're a generous bunch with advice if you need it.
I've got three trains I can take: 7/8, 5/6, and 11/14. But they are ALL 5 hours away! The closest thing fpor me is the AmBus, from Bend to the middle-of-nowhere station at Chemult. That's only 3 hours from home, LOL. You will find that some of the people in this group will go to great lengths to take a train.
