rail journey
Locomotive-powered travel
A rail journey is a trip taken by train.
The phrase emphasizes the experience of travel rather than just the destination: The rail journey through the Alps took eight hours but the scenery made it worthwhile.
British English favors this term; Americans more often say train trip.
