My wife and I rode the Texas Eagle last Sunday to SAS and beyond. I timed us at no more than 100 mph (or maybe a bit faster) on some sections.

Now that's service if you ask me.... diner catches fire but desert is not to be missed. I have been here 17 years... have done a bit of geocachining. Have a friend that is heavily into it and is always involved in the Feb geocache event. Sad to hear it won't be occurring again. I help keep...

If I am around when the train goes by I will wave back... I have met friends on both #1 and #2 at zero dark thirty...

That is too bad, we moved from Oceanside CA to Yuma 17 years ago.... Our first ride out of Yuma was the Sunset / Texas Eagle to St Louis... a great trip and at the time left at a reasonable time....

Thanks for the welcome..... Nancy and I agree that the California Zephyr was our favorite so far..... Have only been on the Empire Builder from Chicago to the Twin Cities but looking forward to finishing that trip.

My name is John and my wife is Nancy, we have travelled a number of Amtrak routes including the Coast Starlight, California Zephre, Southwest Chief and the Sunset.... plus from Chicago to the east coast and on the North East corridor. Looking forward to our next trip....
