Hey guys, I know I have not been around the forum very much over the last 6 months. This school year has been real tough.
Anyways, I just made my first summer train trip plans. On June 8th, departing here in Atlanta, we will travel to New Orleans, spend one night, then catch the sunset limited to Los Angeles from there. I have wanted to ride on the sunset for sometime, but have always used a connection out of Chicago because of parents conferences in the Chicago area.
Anyways, since I am not familiar with this route, just curious of any interesting things that go on--Which stops are fueling stops for #1? Which stations are services stops? Any particular scenic spots where I should have my camera ready? What is the normal consist between NOL-LAUPT Etc...
Also, I have a standard bedroom, and I was curious what side would be best to be on, on #1?
