I concur with the "shorter is better" crowd here. I was once a six year old boy who loved trains, and an afternoon at a short steam excursion line left me with a powerful memories. The tourist excursion trains often are more friendly about letting people watch what is going on up close--many times a wistful little boy might get an invitation into the locomotive cab for a quick tour before or after the trip. The equipment is also often more fun to ride, with vintage cars with opening windows. <br /> <br />By the time I was sixteen, my parents let me (and helped bankroll) solo long distance rail trips...and we enjoyed some nice ones together when I was about eight-twelve years old.
