Just off the Eagle from El Paso, :wub: had to ride Coach due to SOLD OUT Trains, (last minute booking/family emergency)High Buckets! Great OBS, good equipment, Cold Night in SAS(at least it wasnt in the so called "Station"!) Lots of deer and antelope in W. Texas but very dry! Hunting season underway, surprised they were out!
Diverse group from all over the word, SSL jammed for the Pecos High Bridge Crossing, no bullet holes in train from coming through El Paso/Juarez !(the war rages nightly there! )
Excellent SA on my Coach, best Ive seen! (John, a Sundet regular from LA!)No plugs at seats, car hadnt been rehabbed but great clean restrooms, Lounge in nice shape, real diner etc. etc. Early into all stops, train filled again in SAS for CHI, switching done at 3 AM.Sleeper to front, #422 coach on the rear, seats backwards till San marcos, conductor and new crew turned seats, Breakfast now served in the diner by the crew that spends the nite in SAS! No more Box breakfasts for the sleeper pax! Used AGR MC for everything, Double Points all count, wish it was triple or quadruple! Jim
