Ok, LaPlata is a nice little spot in the road, but I’ve been through there many times by highway (parallel to the railroad) and I wouldn’t make a special trip just to see the museum and eat at the restaurant. Although maybe big city folks find us country folks quaint and the get a thrill out of it.
Maybe another enjoyable portion of the trip is viewing the countryside travelled through. The only trains I've ridden, and can remember, were the slow moving tourist ones that traverse a short predetermined local course. I have often thought a train trip across the country may be enjoyable, if I could have the opportunity to stop and stay a night or two at various places along the way.
