...is due to kick off in less than 19 hours, now. I'm tracking the progress of the eastbound Sunset Limited, now leaving El Paso very close to on-time. Bags are packed, folks are ready, we've arranged for a ride...as of my mark we are GO for departure!
*Railfan Madness Part I was in March of 2015. HOS-NOL-CHI-FUL-ANA-LAX-HOS. It let me add the Southwest Chief to my trophy wall, which I had never ridden before. Two more new long distance routes in this trip plan, the Empire Builder (east of Whitefish) and the California Zephyr. At the conclusion of this trip I will have traveled every mile of every (current) Amtrak overnight route west of Chicago, save only SAS-AUS on the Texas Eagle.
