Ask fans what they miss most about Midway Stadium and an overwhelming majority will scream, TRAAAAIIIINNNN.

Whether it's a short jaunt over to Chicago or heading to the great Northwest, jumping on a train from Union Depot to numerous stops is an incredible journey.

The longest rail journey in the world is Russia's Trans-Siberian Railroad. It starts in Moscow and takes passengers all the way to Vladivostok, a city in the east, spanning 5,771 miles.
