When I lived in SoCal, I wanted to take my son on a train ride. There was an Amtrak line, called the San Diegan, that I could pick up in San Clemente and take it to San Diego. Sea World had an Amtrak stop right in the grounds. We drove to the station, and found out it was $35 each, each way, for a 50 mile trip. Well, for $140, I decided I could live a long life without ever experiencing a train ride.
