I depart tomorrow flying from Nashville to Toronto to begin my exciting Via Rail adventure. Will be riding three corridor trains business class between Toronto and Montreal and riding round trip on Via Rail's Ocean between Montreal and Halifax, NS. Will spend four nights in Halifax at Doubletree Hollis Hotel. Returning to Toronto for three nights and then back to Montreal for two nights. Following my Via Rail adventure I will take Amtrak's Adirondack Montreal to Albany, NY, for four nights. Will visit Pougkeepsie, NY, on the Northeast Regional one day for a day trip adventure. From Albany, I take Amtrak's Lake Shore Limited to Chicago to connect to Amtrak's City of New Orleans to my home state New Orleans for two nights. Will fly home to Nashville from New Orleans. That's three exciting weeks.

I've been home just over a week and have now optimized and updated all my photos to Reagan's Photo Galleries. There are 16 photo galleries documenting my trip to Toronto, Halifax, Peggy's Cove, Lunenburg, Niagara Falls, Albany, NY, Poughkeepsie, NY, Chicago, and New Orleans. In all I boarded and rode the trains nine times including twice of some of them. The trains were Via Rail Corridor trains, Via Rail THE OCEAN, Amtrak's Maple Leaf, Amtrak Empire trains, Amtrak's Lake Shore Limited, and Amtrak's City of New Orleans. So I think I have got my train riding "bug" satisfied until October 5 when I will ride Amtrak's California Zephyr again. That's my favorite Amtrak train and I will ride it a couple times a year.

You can reach my 16 photo galleries by clicking on the heading above or here:
