Best train ride ever

Next month I have a wedding to attend in Alaska. As part of that trip, I will be taking a train to Denali National Park, where the wedding is to be held. While looking online at train schedules and trying to decide which ticket to purchase, my mind was taken back to the best train ride in video games, which is found in Uncharted 2. For those who have never played Uncharted 2, the train sequence has the lead character Nathan Drake leaping onto a moving train and then slowly working his way from the back of the train to the front in an effort to rescue one of the other characters. While Drake slowly makes his way forward, fighting baddies along the way, the train rambles through the valleys of Nepal, passes through a long tunnel, and then emerges up in the high mountains of the Himalayas. It’s the sort of thing you would expect out of summer Hollywood blockbuster and quite satisfying to play through. Hopefully my train ride in Alaska is nothing like it.
