Hi All,
It's been 10 years since I attempted to travel by train. Back on 2008 neither of my trips worked out very well. My wife has no interest in rail travel but I find myself with some days off while she has to work.
My plan is to travel from Reno, NV to Washington, DC on Monday 9/3 and fly back to Reno on Friday. It looks like a Roomette is well above what I would consider spending so I'll travel in coach. I guess it's California Zephyr followed by Capitol Limited.
Do I need to worry about making the connection in Chicago?
I'll be flying out of BWI on Friday evening but would like to do some sightseeing between my arrival and departure. Any thoughts on the best location for a hotel?
I've read a bunch of topics here as well as several articles. Hopefully, I have an idea what to expect but any general tips for this trip would be appreciated.
Do the trains have public showers?
Thanks,
Mark
