Trains are also my favorite mode of long-distance travel. I enjoy biking a lot, but haven't ever made a long biking treks.
My most memorable train trip, or one of them, was in 2015 when I went on Interrail in central Europe. I had planned my itinerary around music; I am a fan of Bob Dylan and wanted to catch a few of his gigs in Germany and Slovakia, plus I went to a festival in the Netherlands (mainly to see Dan Deacon, Bob wasn't playing). I never did Interrail as a teenager, but it was a wonderful experience as an adult as well, and I've since done it a couple of times, most recently in June this year. My first Bob trip included other things as well, touristy wandering around cities, renting a rowboat, just enjoying the sights. I actually started the journey with a bus ride through the Baltic countries and Poland, and think fondly of that part of trip too. It was interesting to see the "backyards of Europe." (It's now possible to take a bus all the way from central Finland to Warsaw, and I'm curious to try it.) All in all, I prefer to travel at a pace that leaves time for observation. I read somewhere that trains travel at the speed of your heart.
