Hello train travelers,
I am new to the forum and I am taking a correspondence course in children's writing. My assignment that I am working on now is about a descriptive story about how I took a Amtrak train ride with my grandfather from Galsburg, IL. to Los Angels, CA when I was 11 and now I am quit a bit older and I am try to find photo's of the railway back in the mid 70's, 1975 to be exact. I need to be able to find some information and or pictures to help me jiggle the memory a little so that I can write my next assignment called trian ride to the west. One thing I do remember that I would never had experience anywhere else was when we passed in the desert and how beautiful it looked and one of the most vivid was when it was dusk and we were riding along and I looked to the other side of the train and it was raining on that side and looked like a perfect day on ours. At 11 years old that was most impressive, to see nature at it's finest. Please if you have any suggestions that may help me in "going back in time" please reply to my posting. Thank You and Safe travels to all. spotts
