W: Hey, do you know if it's possible to get to Los Angel from San Francisco by train. But why don't you fly? It's much faster and costs about the same.

W: No way! I hate flying. Do you know how long the train takes?

M: Well, the quickest route is through the center of California. You can start in Sacramento. But it's not a very good route. If you take the train along the coast, it is much more beautiful. It's a great way to see California.

W: Well, I don't care about that I just need to get to Los Angel and back. My cousin's wedding is next month.
