Episode 15 of Climate Stew looks at rail travel. Ah the romance of the train and the many hassles too. Peterson recently completed a cross-country train tour on Amtrak got backed up a lot because of freight traffic, particularly by crude oil tankers. More time on a passenger train though means more time to connect with others. He shares an interview with singer/songwriter Poeina Suddarth. We also include Climate Stew's first ever live concert featuring Poeina's new song, Miracle. What will train travel look like in the future? Timothy Meadows fills us in with a report from the 22nd Century. Climate Stew is available on iTunes, Stitcher, SoundCloud, or Listen here on our site.
