Was wondering the various kinds of reading material that people bring for coach or Sleeper car? And are they magazines or on digital readers? What to bring plenty of material on my 2 day trip.
I did that on my last trip. The window distracted meI spend so much time staring out the window that I don't get around to reading what I brought with me.
I have such a book that I have not gotten to at home, and I plan to take it on my Amtrak trip next winter. If I actually finish it before the return trip, I may ship it home book-rate to save carrying it both ways.I read a lot, specially after it gets dark outside. I usually read real printed books, and usually they are not trivialities. I have a long list of serious books that I want tor ead eventually. I pick one or two from the list to finish off during a longish trip. I do the same on long flights too.
I later learned the hard way doing a google search(assuming you meant the guides that describe the towns and cities you pass through), that those guides are still available. Unlike what I first worried, that they weren't up online anymore. But that they seem to often only be available via looking at this specific Amtrak page, and(oddly) not the same page as the regular Amtrak route page for each train. When I was doing a search on my smartphone, interestingly I saw a note that they hadn't had set up a mobile page for the page that has all the route guides! Anyway: https://www.amtrak.com/route-guidesIt used to be for Sleeping Car Passengers Route Guides were provided. On my most recent 3 LD Amtrak trips, only one had such available. I will print out what I want for my July journey from Amtrak's web site.
I will bring 3 books with me for my 3+ weeks of plane, cruise, rail, and plane travel and expect to return home with at least one, if not two, of those unread.
