This trip was planned relatively quickly. It came about because of the “I want to ride a train now” urge. I talked with my buddy Mike, and he was game too. So the trip was booked on Sunday night. On Thursday we would take 50 to Washington, DC. On Saturday we would take 29 back.
At the same time I read on AU that Amtrak would start pe-ordering of meals fo all sleeping car passengers on east coast trains. Apparently we missed the cut off for receiving this service. Neither of us received emails for preordering meals. This currently is not an issue because we gorged on a medium thin crest Connie’s pizza for lunch.
We are now sitting in the metropolitan lounge with stuffed stomach and anticipation for Mike’s first ride on the Cardinal.
There are about 15 people in the lounge right now. There were not that many earlier before departures of 21, 3,5, and 7.
