Tourists often travel by train when they go on vacation. In European cities, for example, the train is a good way to visit different cities.
Some people take the train just because they love trains. Their hobby is traveling on the railroads of the world.

Tourists ride this train because it is a very special experience. They get on the train in Moscow and get off seven days later in the Far East. Or, if they want, they can stop and visit places on the way.

When the train comes out of the tunnel, it is in the middle of the Alps! The view from the window is too beautiful for words.
