I mean the amount of free time they devote to passengersin their ports of call, where the subway exists. For example - Russian-speaking tour operators are not aware of such phenomenon as railfans. They never encounter time for learning local transit systems. Visiting Boston with them, I used a free time, devoted to restaurants at Quincy Market - in order to self-explore Green and Red lines. Visiting Montreal - I took just one look on their Metro, during an "underground city tour" ... what else... During 6-day Chicago tour I had an opportunity to ride METRA and walk "the loop" on my own (I didn't ride CTA-train yet) only since I took a "day off" and a motel had a free train shuttle. There is no Russian tour agency to organize a tour of model and actual tourist railways in Pennsylvania. Yet there are some tours with visiting some old railway in Connecticut. That's what I mean by the notion of Railway-Friendliness. HEre its mininal |
