Hi, I live in rural west central Indiana, and have been riding passenger trains pretty regularly since I started taking the National Limited back and forth from Indianapolis to the east Coast for grad school in the 1970s. I am a retired academic (small college, humanities). My nearest Amtrak station is Crawfordsville, and my last big trip, a couple of summers ago, was Denver >Oakland then Seattle>South Bend. I hope late this summer to make a loop to LA then SF via SW Chief out and back via Sunset Limited.
