Your train leaves in 5 minutes. Where are you headed?

This week, we are teaming up with @RailEurope for our Instagram Challenge #PPDeparture.  Train travel is a unique way to move around and evokes both an old world charm, while arriving right in the center of a city gives a trip a classic sense of adventure. As villages and landscapes whisk by your window, you can rest comfortably in your seat knowing you are seeing as much as possible. Whether it’s ornate stations or locomotives, snowy mountain ranges out your window or winding coastal railways, show us why departing on a train can be so unique.

This week on Instagram, we want to see how train travel evokes that sense of adventure in you. What do you love most about train travel? What journeys have you taken by rail? How does it inspire your curiosity?

Our GRAND PRIZE WINNER* will receive a Eurail Select Pass, allowing them to visit up to 4 neighboring countries during their next trip to Europe!
