When was the last time you traveled by train?

I remember, travelling to Bangalore for covering the Silicon Valley Of India. We were a team of ten people and going by that train was fantastic. We were in the sleeper class, so we could interact with as many people as we wanted to and we did. Moreover, it was like a complete transition, because we took off the train from Delhi. So, when we started reaching Bangalore,we could actually see the difference. It was really fun.
