train travel
Going by rail
Train travel is transportation by rail, typically for longer distances than urban commuting.
The phrase evokes a particular mode of journeying—often scenic, unhurried, and nostalgic compared to flying or driving: Train travel through the Swiss Alps is spectacular.
In regions with high-speed rail, train travel competes with air travel for efficiency.
