Train

What It Is

A freight or passenger train, spotted either crossing the road at a grade crossing or running parallel to the highway on tracks.

How Rare Is It on Road Trip Bingo?

Uncommon. Depends heavily on your route; some highways parallel active rail lines for miles, others never cross one.

Spotting Tip

Routes that follow river valleys or old industrial corridors often run alongside freight lines — watch for tracks paralleling the road.

Fun Fact

A single freight train can stretch over a mile long and take several minutes to fully clear a crossing, so once you spot one, you've got time to make sure everyone in the car sees it too.
