Hello all, I'm a fairly new user here. I've been lurking amongst topics for a bit and now's the time I stop and say "hi" to you all. I've always had a keen interest in trains, but have not traveled by them much. I am however considering a big cross country trip (east coast to west and back) next year, and have been finding a lot of good information here. More info on the trip to come later when I can organize my thoughts and decide what questions to ask, but for now I'll just say "hi" and thanks for all the great information you provide at this forum.
