Hello all! I am new to this wonderful place and just starting to figure it out how it works. I got bit by the train bug as a kid going from Los Angeles to Albuquerque. Unfortunately,I forgot about the train for years until a horrible flying incident a couple of years ago!!! Since then I have done The CS(lax-sea),CZ(Emeryville to Denver and back). This July I am doing the CZ (emeryville to chi) and my way home will be the EB(Chi-Sea),CS(sea-emy) sleeper on all. From here on out it's Amtrak or nothing for my travel needs!!!
