dear why don't people own more trains diary,
there are private buses and planes. almost everyone has a car, truck, motorcycle and yacht or fishing boat or vessel in between, kids and adults own bikes and skates and skateboards, people even have helicopters and hang gliders, mopeds, golf carts, horses, buggies, donkeys, and we pretty much all came with two legs and 'ned' and 'jed.' but for some reason private trains never really took off. i think a train engine is so powerful and romantic and the tracks are usually always empty. sure, you couldn't do a bunch of turning with your engine, but it would be like that sky ride at the state fair. you could ride your train to one side of the country and get off and have your golf cart waiting and then when you got your business done or you were ready to head on back- just jump into your golf cart and run back to your train and ride it back home to your waiting boat and sail back to your island where you grow marijuana with juan valdez.
