Train Attendant
Hey, everyone....I plan on visiting an old friend in August via train. She lives in Muskegon, and after going through the Amtrak website and seeing the possible routes to get there, I've decided to plan on taking the buses from L.A to Bakersfield, then an AMtrak California train to Emeryville, before taking on the California Zephyr to CHicago and Pere Marquette to Grand Rapids. I guess from GR to Muskegon I'm on my own . I plan to return home via the Marquette then the Southwest Chief back to Fullerton, CA.
I guess my questions for this still- in- the -planning- stages trip would be:
1. Do you guys think that outbound itinerary from L.A to GR with the buses and Zephyr is a bit much? I've always wanted to ride the CZ...
2. How is the weather like in August for Western Michigan?
3. I plan on taking this on going coach to Michigan and returning in sleepers to California...any tips on how to make at least the outbound part bearable?
4. I've read the Marquette's trains dont have an actual staffed cafe on it....is that true?
That is all for now.. thank you for your help in answering these questions for me Have a great one.
