Amtrak

This is quite a new experience to me, I must admit, though traveling by train is nothing new and - in genera - I like it, as it gives me more freedom to work and move around without missing what is passing by the window along the route...

I was curious how USA train services fare in comparison to European and Canadian ones. I'd say, we are not bad, not at all, over there in Poland and Europe after what I've seen and tasted already since yesterday aboard Amtrak Southwest Chief number 4 from Los Angeles Union Station enroute to Chicago Union Station...

At first I found this Superliner Roomette ridiculously small, barely the width of the seat, not more that one meter, I'd say... But sleeping in combined two seats, flatbed, was quite good! Had a good sleep and the train does not make much noise. I guess the joints of rails are different and do not make that usual click-clack sound...

The staff is friendly and helpful, security maybe not as one of the guests sitting with me in the diner for breakfast said someone stole his bag, probably thieves who come aboard at one station and disembark at the next...what a shame! Now, I'm on red alert status, keeping everything with me, just in case...

Here is the link to photos I take while I am heading northeast to Chicago, hope you enjoy the beauty of the countryside and what I find interesting along the way. 

Have a nice weekend and blessed Sunday! Praying for all of you much! God bless us all!
