I had high hopes for "En Train" after having thoroughly enjoyed "Trains de Nuit," by the same press and in the same format. But it didn't grab me in the same way.
Trains de Nuit was about, well, overnight trains. En Train is about multi-day journeys, often involving effort to get to and from the endpoints, sometimes involving sizable rubber-wheel sections. The itineraries didn't feel self-contained. I felt like I was gaining time, cheating the clock, by changing countries in my sleep; but with these journeys I felt the clock ticking.
To get to the Pacific Northwest, grab one of those "F" travel series. But to get to know the Pacific Northwest, pick up this Wildsam Field Guide. It won't help you much with the day-to-day, but it will add the backstory that brings you into the woods.
Interviews with Agent Cooper and Cheryl Strayed? Check. Blurbs on how to speak Lumberjack and why flannel is key to the regional ethos? Check. Lots of bite-sized pieces of history - even an essay on the area's most famous hijacker, who parachuted into the wilderness from an airborne 727 with $200,000 in government $20s strapped to his body.
Follow one of the tour itineraries, or more likely, find a couple of fascinating towns and add them to your own.
