7 Stunning Overnight Train Trips to Take With Your Kids

These overnight train rides — including New York to Chicago, and Los Angeles to Portland — are ideal experiences for family bonding.

A few summers ago, when my son Marcel was four, the two of us took an overnight train from Schenectady to Chicago and back over four days. It completely transformed our relationship.

One night, in a moment of weakness, I answered, “Maybe this weekend” and set off a chemical reaction that was too much for his body to bear.
