What's new

I have been a railfan all my life. My first Amtrak trip was in 2010 with my wife who has moved on to be with the lord. Together we had rode almost every route twice and some more. We never got to ride the Acela though. After she left and the points system changed I've only taken a few trips. We always traveled sleeper and loved the folks we met on the train.

What are the subjects and dates for your technical books? I could be interested email me at ghharris44 <at> yahoo. Or call: 850-208-1520. Specifically I am a civil engineer that has spent most of my working life dealing with railroad and most specifically alignment and track issues. (Need a weird turnout in a non-standard rail section? I can design you one.)

Doing some more research and thinking of more ideas

Waiting to board CC trip

Excited to be taking my first ever train trip on Monday, from Chicago to Denver on the California Zephyr. I'm a little confused by the room numbers, and I'm pretty sure I got a "bad one"going both ways, as I booked last minute. Does anyone have experience with train 5 car 540 Room 17, or train 6 car640 room 21? Thanks in advance y'all!
