OK we're about an hour beyond Ft. Morgan Colorado... into the rough tracks of Nebraska. It is raining hard out; for the first time I am experiencing the sound of rain on a tin roof ... of a train. Amazingly loud over the sound of the rough tracks and the associated train rattles.
But it is all good. Excellent steak and companionship tonight. Running late; we still have to get around (well, across) the big river. But as long as I get to CHI in time for the LSL departure at 9:30 tomorrow night, I am cool with it (there's that controversial phrase again).
All crews/staff excellent. And I have forgotten in almost 2 years how very amazing the scenery thru the Rockies is. What a ride. For those discussing which train to take for scenery, just go ahead and book the CZ; ask no more questions. A no-brainer. Now that I have done the Chief and the CS, (both of which were GREAT) - it all comes home to the Zephyr.
Thanks to all who respond to my posts as a guest. Oh and thanks again AGR. Most of ALL thanks to my beautiful twin grand daughters that I got to spend an extra week with due to frustrating cancellations and re-bookings (4 in all).
