"A gentle, funny, discursive and witty book that's nominally about travel but really about much more. The ideal travel companion, Jim points out the sights and shares interesting facts while painting a picture of wonderful train journeys." - Jim Matthews, President & CEO, Rail Passengers Association/NARP "Jim is not only a great source of information on traveling by train, he also weaves flavor and color into his journeys that make reading them a pleasure. I've learned a lot from this rail travel guru over the years." - Peter J. LeCody, President, Texas Rail Advocates "Until I have a chance to cross many of Jim's adventures off of my own bucket list, I'm happy to soak up the experience through his engaging and colorful storytelling. More, please!" - Ryan Robutka, Senior Manager, Sales & Marketing - Americas, VIA Rail Canada "Reading Jim Loomis on travel is like having a wonderful chat with your best friend, newly returned from an adventure. He eloquently describes destinations and experiences - like crossing Australia by train - but he also shares great stories and tales.

Highly recommended!" - Carl Fowler, President (Ret.), Rail Travel Center Tours/Rail Travel Adventures.
