Go to radio shack and get a Verizon jetpack pre- paid style. It works in a lot of place nirmal data service doesnt. I'm on the zephyr and have had service the entire time. People have been going crazy asking me how I had service. For 15$ for 250 mb pr one week, its well worth it.
We stopped briefly in Green River to switch crew. We were stopped there for a few mintues. Not sure if they let people smoke or not, as I jumped in the shower while the train stopped. Much easier to shower when the train is not moving.
They just made any announcement about smoking, as some idiot decided smoking in the barhroom was a good idea. If you smoke come prepared with nicotine gum or patches, dont stink up the train, because you're an idiot!
On a happier note, I can't believe all the antelope I've seen.
Trip is going great so far! Staff have all been excellant.
