I've often wondered what people do to pass time during an entire day of rail travel... especially on Western routes which include that 'day in the middle' when you wake up to a full day, followed by yet another night. Uniquely the Texas Eagle has two such days. Coach travel will vary with roomette and bedroom travel. Single travelers might vary from two traveling together.
Do you have breakfast delivered? Do you saunter to the lounge car after a meal... do you nap after lunch? Do you return to your room in late afternoon for a bit of happy hour? Do you take a vigorous walk at fresh air stops? Do you blog and/or take pictures? It's certainly difficult for me to just stay stationary for a three day trip. So, what is your daily routine?
Moderators... if you find this is redundant to other forums please place this where you think it is best. But I've wondered how others actually pass the time and am interested in their take.
