Here is my plan, which I don't plan to actually undertake anytime soon (not that I wouldn't want to), of traveling completely around the world by train as much as possible. Please feel free to make any corrections or better suggestions. Does anyone think this great journey could really be accomplished in 80 days? Starting point: Los Angeles Union Passenger Terminal (UPT) 1. Amtrak "Southwest Chief" Los Angeles UPT-Chicago Union 2. Amtrak "Lake Shore Limited" (or would the "Three Rivers" be quicker?) Chicago Union-New York Penn 3. Long Island Railroad New York Penn-Jamaica 4. JFK Airtrain Jamaica-JFK Airport 5. Airline service New York JFK, USA-London Heathrow, UK 6. Heathrow Express Heathrow Airport-London Paddington 7. London Underground Circle Line London Paddington-London Liverpool Street 8. First Great Eastern Trains London Liverpool Street-Harwich International 9. Stena Line ferry Harwich International, UK-Hoek van Holland, Netherlands 10. Netherlands Railways/German Federal Railways Hoek van Holland, Netherlands-Berlin Zoologischer Garten, Germany (do they still offer this as a through service?) 11. Berliner U-Bahn (subway), Line S7 Zoologischer Garten-Lichtenberg station 12. German Federal Railways/Polish Railways/Belarussian Railways(?)/Russian Railways Berlin Lichtenberg, Germany-Moscow Belorusskaya, Russia 13. Moscow Metro, Circular Line Belorusskaya-Komsomolskaya 14. Russian Railways, "Rossiya" Moscow Yaroslavskiy-Vladivostok 15. Airline service Vladivostok, Russia-Niigata, Japan 16. JR East Joetsu Line Niigata-Tokyo Station 17. JR East Narita Express Tokyo Station-Tokyo Narita Airport 18. Airline service Tokyo Narita-Los Angeles Dang, 18 changes of vehicles in total. So assuming you did little to no sightseeing (keep in mind this is a purely hypothetical travel plan which few people have the time, money, or patience to attempt), do you think you could pull this off in 80 days or less.
