6300 miles via Amtrak.....a Log

Interesting. Link to photos dose not work.

We can relate. My wife Paula and myself travel long distance exclusively by train using bedroom accommodations when we vacation. We have probably traveled well over 100,000 Amtrak miles going to Seattle, Chicago, New Orleans, Florida, The Wisconsin Dells, DC, and other cities. This year we will travel from PHL to DEN, a two day trip. We would never fly again as we despise the filthy, crowded, unhealthy dehumanizing conditions of air travel. Prisoners get better treatment than air passengers. Some of the trains that we have traveled on are the Cardinal, Crescent, Capitol Limited, Empire Builder, California Zephyr, Lake Shore Ltd, The Acela and of course the NE regional trains.

If you booked a sleeper then you appreciated the first class lounges in NY, Chicago, Washington DC, Los Angeles and New Orleans. If you like private accommodations the bedroom w private bath can't be beat but its also expensive.

Thank you AMCDave

 

I enjoy reading about your trips, I too also go on a train trip every year and so far winter time. This time I went early, december but normally february. And for the most part always amazing adventure. My route is the Empire Builder and VIA

 

Happy rails to you

Couldn't agree with you more, Dennis, but there aren't too many trains running from Denver to Europe. (sigh)

 

Like you guys, I enjoy going by rail. I just plan on it being off schedule, figure I'm not in a hurry, then sit back and enjoy the ride.

Fixed it Thanks!!!!

great post and a very interesting read. thanks for sharing!

That was a very interested read which answered some unasked questions I had.  I've always wanted to take a trip by rail and will get around to it one of these days.

Thanks for writing and sharing. I'm not sure I have ever had rice with steak before, but I'll have to try it some time. The pics of the snow are interesting. 

Dave,

I enjoy reading your trip blogs. You have a knack for writing and it makes me feel like I am right there with you. Keep up the good work and hopefully there are many train trips more to blog about.

Tom.

Thanks all!!!!

Thanks Dave! Your trips are always interesting reads. You should have called when you were in San Diego I would have given you the 50 cent tour. My wife and I are traveling to Buffalo on the SWC and the Lake Shore Limited in May. It will be our first time in a long time and we are looking forward to it.
