Hello all--
I'm taking a trip from Chicago to Los Angeles, and am choosing between the Southwest Chief and the Texas Eagle. Besides the quicker travel time on the SWC (not necessarily an advantage since I love being on the train), are there any distinctive differences between the two routes that would make one more appealing than the other? I'm thinking in terms of scenery, food, SCA and on-board staff (every route is different, lol), interesting train station stops along the way, etc). Interested to hear opinions--thanks in advance!
